I was Geo. Maybe starting the forum has had more impact on Marks business than he expected!.

Not at all ash. I don't use this forum as a means to gain business. However, Geo is correct, I have been incredibly busy on the bench taking on more work than usual due to an unexpected loss of earnings in another area.

Regretfully, I have quite a few balls in the air currently but I'm hoping things will calm down soon for me lol.

It wasn't meant that way at all Mark. By starting this forum you probably became the most approachable and accessible watch repairer on the net to the average Joe. Apologies for any offense.

Lol. No offence taken at all :)

Glad to hear you are OK and busy with work, your openness in sharing your knowledge is what makes this website so good, we miss you. :bow:

Thank you my friend.

Yeah, but it's not read yet, so I don't think he's had time to read it, I sent an message via website, but probably same case.

Currently on holiday. I fly back to the uk on the 13th but no doubt will have hundreds of enquiries to sift through.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By oldhippy · Posted

      Before putting it back in the case I would fit the hands and use a pin vice on the stem to make sure the hands were in line.

      Put the movement in a movement holder and it will be supported as you push down on the setting lever post to release the winding stem. Make sure the post is over the shoulder of the movement holder so what you are pressing down on is supported. As a general rule, hold the movement and not the movement holder. Replace the hands when the movement isn't in the case and support the centre jewel (if it has one) on a hard surface or staking block when replacing the hands to stop the jewel accidentally moving or even coming out. A dedicated movement holder with a central jewel support is even better, but pricey

      It might help us if we knew which watch like model number.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By Zedster · Posted

      Hi, guys I have a bit of a predicament and hopefully, somebody can advise. I'm working on a Roamer MST 521 where the movement is extracted from the crystal side. I'm now at the final hurdle where I need to replace the movement back into its case but I'm not sure of the correct procedure. I still need to fit the hands but that's where the problem lies. If I insert the winding stem to test the hands for correct alignment I will need to turn the movement over to release the stem again it's the spring-loaded type and needs a small bit of force to push down but with the hands fitted, I don't think I can do this on a cushion without causing some damage to the hands and that's the last thing I want to do, this watch has already been a love-hate relationship and I'm so close to boxing this one off which I'm counting as my first major project.  The other option is to case the movement then fit the hands and hope everything is okay. I've already broken the original winding stem but managed to find a replacement, the last one in stock, so I'm a bit reluctant to keep removing it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
