Problem With Winder

i am trying to replace a Ronda 715 movement on my watch. The new movement has a winder fitted with a plastic crown, and I pulled out the winder after setting the hands on my watch. I then tried to put in the original winder (from the original movement) but it wouldn't go in; nor would the winder with the plastic crown go back in. So I'm stuck with the watch but neither winder will go in!

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any advice!

Something has moved inside the keyless work. That is usually the problem? Try pressing a little on the button when you put the new stem in? That doesn't work take the dial of and look if the clutch wheel is sitting as it should.

It might, some movements don't show the "button" to push unless they are in the proper setting position. My take on it, to make it easy, pull the stem in different positions and observe what moves, then you will discover the spot to press in the appropriate position...most of the time it works. That Ronda movement should have a button next to the stem and it is an easy thing to spot...although I believe the older models have a screw. In either case, the stem should be all the way in.

      Nice interesting diver Razz, i have a sheffield dress watch, different movement altogether. Could be a wrong motion works part, how does the setting feel before fitting the cannon pinion, clutch and intermediate wheel meshing ok ?  The less traditional setting design could be suspect, the second wheel has a slip clutch assembly, that most likely needs looking at. LA is 42 ° Razz Tbh i  much prefer to call the complete unit the lever, then use the seperate names for all of its components. Such as guard pin, fork, fork horns, fork slot, lever arm, pallets , pallet arms, pallet slot, pallet stones. I suppose pallet fork is the combination of the two opposite ends that make up the lever, its also called the anchor which is descriptive of its appearance.  Its a pretty basic 1930s  swiss lever movement H and yes Nev was meaning the pallet fork.

      The pallet fork should really be called a lever, English lever, Swiss lever etc but most people including myself call it a pallet fork.

      Seiko 6309a diver crown replacement

      Seiko have case numbers, I  can't see it on your photos.  If you can find that we can look for a genuine crown.  If not, you need to measure the diameter of the stem, the distance between the lugs and the depth of the lugs.  The case number will be something like this.

      I'm not sure what kind of movement this is, but I'm curious to know if you're using the word "lever" as a synonym for "pallet fork"?

      Actually kind of rough, maybe munute wheel pinion problems? Is the 2.73mm canion oinion which seems rarer and not availble on Cousins UK. The seconds hand works and suprising nice amplitude but don't know the lift angle and BE this one says 17 j but is a pin pallet as well. Cap jewels on the escape and drive train pivots. Interestingly in has both water proof and shock resistant on the caseback and dial. Puts this around 1969 or '70? The double bezel that works independently is cool has the pi symbol on each. Wonder if it can be used like a slide rule ir something...
