Can anyone help with the stem of an Ebel 057.

The stem pulls out. I'm able to set the time at 1st position.

I'm not suppose to dissemble the movement as per my boss.

I'm looking for a screw to keep the stem locked in.

Am I missing something?

 

Thanks in advance,

Dave.

 

P.S. the stem looks like it needs replaced.

Should I replace?

It looks to me like it should just push in and lock in place as there appears to be a release button showing at the top middle right of your picture. You certainly require a new stem Dave.

I'm not familiar with that movement Dave, so I can't comment on it. I still think it is a button stem release though. Hopefully someone can chime in with good advice.

I didn't look close enough Oldhippy, it sure is a two piece stem. The biggest issue on close inspection would appear to be the pendant tube, it has pulled out of the case and looks in a bad way. The stem probably can be cleaned up and re-used, but a new pendant tube is required.

That's correct, the tube in the case that the stem goes through. It looks like it has pulled out and split.

Geo, I'm sure I can see the pendant tube still in place on the case in the top pic! The movement seems to sit in a pan that carries the dial. As you know, I'm no expert, but just like Catchphrase I'm saying what I see! ;)

Oops, you're correct, I was too focused on the movement and thought that it was sitting in the case. Where's the embarrassed smiley?

I suppose it's like our Roamers but I can't quite see why a split stem is neccessary.

Because the movement comes out the front?

P.S. You're lucky if you can find an embarrassed smiley - all mine have left town! I haven't had access to smilies for a while, even if I use the 'More Reply Options'button. Where'd they go? :(

(That one I made myself. :))

Hi Roberto! Yep, only way in or out but a one-piece stem would still work wouldn't it?

Edit: What am I saying?? Disregard the above sentence - total cobblers!

This one works for me when I really need to show it.

That certainly applies to Roamers but the pendant tube is on the outside of the case in the pic at the top, rather than on the inner pan.

Yes, the pendant tube is on the case.

If the movement comes out the front then how can you get to stem release on rear of movement? You can't, hence the need for a split stem. [emoji9]

My Roamer pic... the "pan" you see is the case itself.

I can't believe how thick I'm being tonight. Especially as I'd already suggested that I was talking cobblers! I mean, I own three Roamers!!! Doh!

If the two piece stem is rusty I would always replace with new, removing the rust I found it made the stem weak and pulled a bit too hard the parts would come apart. The tubes I had a good range of spares from suppliers sometimes I'd turn one down so it would fit better but most times they would just press fit in then give a little tap with hammer and punch that would fit inside the tube from the inside and done.

My concern is the stem (2-part) should not release without depressing the release. Is there trouble in the movement? I was hoping I missed something that would let me secure it. Remember, I'm not allowed to tear it down.

I'm not sure I understand you, but here goes. The 2 part stem fits into the watch in the same way as most, if you need to remove the movement you do so by pulling the stem as if you are setting the hands but keep pulling (some can be very hard to separate) but it will part. As it's a two piece stem the movement comes out from the front so you will next need to remove the glass, your pictures don't show any ring like you have with a Roamer watch, so I would think yours should just drop out, now you can remove the other part of the stem by means of a screw or a push in piece and the part will be able to be removed from the movement. You don't need to take the watch to pieces when it comes down to the two piece stem.

I get the impression that the complete stem is pulling right out of the movement when it should still be locked in place, instead if separating as it should when pulled hard.

As Geo said already, it looks like a push release for the stem rather than a screw.

It might be the setting lever is either worn out or has moved out of place. Either way, you need to remove the dial to investigate further.

Sorry all

I'm having trouble posting.

The watch came into the store with the complaint that he stem is loose. I pulled it and both parts came out. I looked for a screw to secure the stem. Since there didn't appear to be one, I thought there might be another way I'm not aware of. I would like to disassemble, but I'm not permitted to. If I could secure the stem, I can complete the repair. As was suggested the stem needs cleaned and possibly replaced. I was hoping I may have missed something.

Thanks for being patient,

Dave

      Older Emporio Armani watch needs fixing

      By Shadaar · Posted

      Hi Tigermuffins, Replacement parts for Armani watches are, in my experience, rather difficult to find. This is because not a lot is known of the movements and parts that have been used and there is very little information available. I repaired one myself for practice and spent a LOT of time finding a replacement wheel. That particular watch used a Chinese movement, that I could only identify after doing a lot of research. I think your best bet would be to find a second hand watch of the same model, or one of the models that were released around the same time, and use the stem + crown form that one. I found attached article of its release and probably one of the other tank models would also work. Maybe one of the other members has more info on the movement used for this model, then you could try to find a replacement stem and a (generic) crown.  Good luck on your first project!

      The Citizen movement is 3ADJ. One reason I have some hope that the crown/stem didn't snap is that the end looks clean rather than broken. I've got 2.3 mm of threaded "stem" coming from the cap. Let me see if I can take a picture with sufficient detail to show it.

      I expect the stem on the Citizen will have snapped but if you're luck they'll be enough protruding from the crown to unscrew it. Do you know what movement's in the Citizen and what all the movements look like for general condition.

      Seeking advice on installing watch crystal.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      There are specific dies that will mostly fit this crystal shape, but I just find it easier doing them by hand. Occasionally the odd one can be difficult, there is a workaround, and it isn't by force . Same Andy, generally it's possible to get 2 1/2  sides in before a little pushing is required. Things usually tighten up when the crystal is skewed too much, typically on smaller ones, I tend to try keeping them as flat as possible to the case lip Have a measure up to see how well it does actually fit. Often the old ones were designed to be trimmed to size ( maybe not this one as it looks like a square version of a high dome, but still may trim down a little ) Manufacturers probably thinking it's easy to take off, impossible to put anything on. I think would need something central of the crystal inside, while pushing the corners outside.

      Older Emporio Armani watch needs fixing

      By Tigermuffins · Posted

      To anyone who might be able to help. I am coming up on almost 20 years since I bought an Emporio Armani Meccanico AR 4205 watch. Sadly the crown and main stem is now missing due to an unforeseen accident. I went to my local store, they sent it in for repairs, but returned it due to being a model that has gone out of date. The watch itself is not very expensive, but it holds a great sentimental value to me. So I figure it would be a nice small project to get it fixed on my own. But since this is my first dive into wristwatch repairs, could anyone point me to somewhere on the web where such parts could be bought? Or if there are parts from a different model that would work on this? Any and all assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated :)
