Will try it tomorrow

First attempt failed, as using a Dremel type tool and to aggressive and broke, second attempt going better, but run out of time, will continue asap.

Yeah a dremel type tool would be a bit aggressive even on a slow speed. Have you switched to just hand tools, or persevering with the power tools? Any pictures on how it's shaping up?

File wise I don't have anything small enough, it proving more challenging than I thought

Have managed to get a broken donor watch cheap, will have a go at repair next week.

Hi Guys.

Just a quick question about the V Cell.....

I'm wanting to case swap my working but battered watch into a near perfect case I have sourced. 

My question is how to remove the crown and stem?

There is a little arrow pointing to a pin through the board, but it doesn't seem to push in and I don't want to break anything.

Thanks for any help.

Ricky.

Hello Ricky,

Apologies in a late reply. I guess you may have worked it out already? You're in the right place, did you pull the crown to the hand setting position then depress the pin? Do you have any pictures?
