I always pull the stem out either one or two clicks. In doing this the clutch has a little more stability engaged against the date setting wheel and is less likely to flip. It's a design fault ETA should have sorted out by now. The ETA 2892-2 doesn't have this problem! Also when the stem is out don't give the movement any hard jolts, as this sure to flip the clutch and then the yoke comes out of the notch of the clutch. You can sort it out by removing the barrel bridge and reseating the clutch and yoke, rather than removing the dial and hands, etc.

Hello, I have an old (20 or close ) fossil automatic. I don’t quite remember when or why I bought it but I ended up not liking it too much and not wearing it. Now that I am starting the watch making (hopefully more like breaking right now ) hobby I figured I could get into it see what was the movement and practice on it. The problem I had was in opening the back. It is held by tiny Phillips head screws most went fine but one wouldn’t come and the cross shape of the head became so damaged from my trial that it was unusable. With one screw only holding the case I could force it open I am not sure what deformed, the case back hole or the screw head but one gave way. I could then remove the damaged screw with plyers. So now my question is do you think I can find a screw to replace that broken one? Not that I intend to where the watch but I’d still prefer to reassemble it completely including the case -
I find working up to 1200 grit wet and dry works fine and finish with Brasso. As long as you are light with the wet and dry and let the paper do the work, rather any real pressure put on the crystal. Here's a before and after of this Rolex acrylic crystal I polished this week just using 1200 grit and then Brasso. Circular motion of the lint free pad or bud you use. Personally, I think Polywatch for what it is, is a stupid amount of money for a small amount of abrasive that's very watered down if you compare it to diamond pastes. Before. After.
