I have a problem with my Omega 1012, where the winding stem doesn't stay in place, it can be pushed in and it winds the mechanism, but if you go to pull it out to change the date or time it simply comes straight out.

Any help will be appreciated :)

Hi,

  You could have one of several issues. The easiest one is that stem just isn't set completely under the set lever. Might try to push down on set lever pin and push crown a bit more into watch, gently. This condition would still allow watch to be wound but since stem isn't set properly it will just pull right out. Other issues are a bit more complicated. Set lever may be broken. You may be able to check this by removing stem and looking into the hole and trying to see the tip of the set lever that holds stem in place and it also is what helps move works to change position from winding to setting. Also the set lever spring may be worn out and not holding proper tension on set lever. I also suppose it's possible that the end of the stem may be broken or eroded allowing the stem to slip under the set lever. Judging from the picture alone my best guess is that stem just isn't into watch far enough. Crown should fit snug to case when all the way in.

 

Hope I was of some help,

Charles K

      Try putting everything back together and closing the back cover. I think one of the two springs has to contact the metal casing to ground the casing. So when you press the button, it will touch the contact on circuit board and close the circuit.

      Yes, the seconds hand is the longest and goes almost to the edge of the dial. I can’t quite picture it how you do it on the rubber pad

      A don't think so it leaked or damaged it because the watch itself works it just the buttons ain't working not connecting with the circuit board have taken more pictures of where the buttons makes contact with the circuit board.

      Stem removal after fitting hands

      I think what peter means oh is once he has fitted the hands and  checked for  alignment if them and that they dont foul, how does he then hold the movement to remove the stem in order to case up. The dial cannot be laid on a cushion or in a movement holder as the hands will get damaged. This can be quite tricky for a beginner, what i do is  to stand the movement on edge on a rubber pad so it doesn't slip. Hold the top edge with one finger then my dominant hand uses 3 fingers to press the stem release and flick out the stem. See below peter, leave off the second hand as this is the longest and gets caught the most, then fit it once the stem is out. Alternatively place the movement in one of the cup style holders, i imagine this is what they are designed for. They only touch the very edge of the dial.

      Yes I understand that. What I’m asking is, after the hands have been fitted, it’s been checked that the hands do not touch etc. then I need to remove the stem to fit the movement in the case. I have the push type, I need to turn it upside down and push the setting lever post and pull the stem out. But of course the dial and hands are in place and I have a glossy dial with lume dots and I do not want to cause any damage while it’s upside down pushing on the post of the setting lever.
