Help With Tudor 2671 Winding Stem Removal


Recommended Posts

I have attatched a picture or 2 is there a screw on this movement or a button type release on this 2671 Tudor Princess Date movement

I need to remove the stem.

Let me know the steps to take and how it should be prepped.

Thanks

any idea how far to push it in, I hear that some movements if you push down to far it might mess things up. Sorry I'm not technical when it comes to the wording. Just the basics like crown,crystal,stem, rotor etc.

i will give that a try

thanks

I'm sure others who have done this more than I will give you direction...

 

But, From what I can remember, use a screw driver about the same width as the slot to push the pin in. You don't want to push the pin is farther than the slot shoulders will allow as this will cause the retaining pin to slip out of place. Then it may require disassembly to replace the retaining mechanism

just don't push it in when you refit the stem, you should be able to turn it back into the movement without touching the button, its often when you put the stem back in you get problems with it disappearing (if you push it)

I got it out but now I can't seem to get the movement straight into the case. I had to remove one case clamp and screw on one side to get the movement to slip in level now not sure how to put back the case clamp. Wish there was some sort of video on the removal and replacement of the 2671 Tudor movement.

I will keep looking to try and figure it out. This is my first time. The watch came with the movement out of the case so it could be called watch parts for customs reasons. Now just have to put it back together.

I don't think that is even the right clip for this application(?) I would guess it should look just live the other retaining clip on the other side of the movement.

    • I did try that last time Rich , i traced the image from the Bestfit book which is the actual size. But its more difficut to cut the shape from paper than it is to grind the steel to shape. This way is pretty easy and the final shaping is done when fitting the part. There are a couple of things i will do differently next time, clamping the 2 pieces together with a drill press will help to hold while scribing the shape in. This was a bit tricky having only one hole, if using the pins and cork the drill size needs to match the pin diameter so there is no movement at all from the template. This movement hasn't finished frying me yet, damaged thread in the plate crown wheel hole and two rubbed in cracked jewels, thats gonna be much more fun.
    • 👍 Whats not to follow OH ?  You're every inch a pro and a true gent, i always enjoy reading your answers even some of the clock stuff that i dont have a clue about. 
    • Could you print the image either enlarged or reduced to the same size as the actual part and then glue it to the steel. 
    • Next is to drill the screwhole this then provides an anchor point so the bridge doesnt slip around while scribing the shape. A cork lid, a pin and a piece of gaffer tape ( 😅 ) keeps it all in place. The hole is measured from the broken part using a hand measuring gauge. Mark the hole, punch it and drill it off to size. The awkward bit is working out where the jumper should be and the detent positions.  I remember watching a youtuber a while back do this with dividers, so i dug out my old school compasses and improvised a little. This bridge only has one hole and to find the detent positions you need two points of reference, so i just worked the second point from one of the corners, hopefully its near enough. Then scribe in the jumper using the two detent positions ( wind and time set ) that were marked and a big picture of the complete spring to look at that helps to give you a feel of where the jumper should be.   
    • Right now I'm making do with a similar micrometer (the one below is $45 shipped but you can find better deals) and a $20 stand. You do have to be excruciatingly careful measuring jewels, since there's no table, but if you don't have the $500 to throw around, it's a nice option.
