Replacement Stem Help


Kieran

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am servicing a pocket watch that is missing it's original stem and was wondering if there is an easy way to find a replacement.

The calibre of the movement isn't known so I cannot simply look online for a replacement stem. Is there a method for finding a stem i.e measuring the hole or is it a case of going through hundreds of stems to find one that's suitable?

Post a pic of the movement and dial. Often pocket watches have bought in movents made by other manufacturers. The movement brand cartoche (symbol) and cal no. is usually under the balance or sometimes under the dial side. Also measure the diameter of the movement . All of this will help us identify what it is. saving lots of time going randomly through stems.
