Hi guys, I've just serviced a nice gold plated regency 17 jewels shock resistant gents wrist watch, does anybody know were I can get a replacement stem from!

I think the watch as had a stem replacement in the past because somebody as used a stem extender on its last repair! If anybody knows abit more information on regency watches I'll be glad to here from you! Cheers guys [emoji2]

You need to find out which movement it has ? Open the caseback and take a picture ? Bought the watch from Ebay? As i found this watch when i search for stems? Or just borrowed the picture?

There are digits under the balance wheel get a look at those, often there is a logo that will let you know the maker. Otherwise you may need to pull the dial off to see if it is stamped under there.

Have search on the web . But can't find any info . Looks like the regency has it's own movement . My best advice is to go with the stem extender if there is enough thread?

I don't know mate, I've thought about stripping down the movement too! Just to get the piece out, I've tried tapping the watch case while I've got the detent button pressed, but the stem piece still won't drop out of the movement?

Depend on if there is something left of the stem . If there is thread left i use a stem extender with a crown and screw that on the protruding stem. Then just press the button and pull out . Could be a little to big extender . Doesn't matter .

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      All watches are repairable a few oven duff tools knowledge skills. But I was just agreeing that it be easier to get a movement.

      About repair watch's jewel.

      By jhoho202 · Posted

      First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. And often swapped parts are not the expected solution of all problems. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank

      Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.

      I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.
