Valjoux 724 baseplate issue

[donmenzies]

Hi. The tube in the baseplate that takes the tip of the stem is worn allowing the stem to jump out when  time setting. Can this be repaired? Rest of the watch is fine.

Thanks for any advice

Make a stem with longer tip. 

As for repairing the hole, need to see a clear close up of it.

A stem with a longer pivot risks fouling the minute counter shaft, which passes through just a short distance away. It is possible to remove the remains of the tube and open up the hole and press fit a new tube, but it's very tricky work preferably done in a jig boring machine.

This damage was made deliberately most times to fit a wrong stem

Repair as nickelsilver said.
