Cheers mates !!!

Im doing somthing I probably cant ....Im help out a buddy with a Grand Seiko SBGF003 /8J56-8000 / ref. 8N0172

And did get the stem out after some fiddling, but now I cant get the stem in again. Se mark on photo where I pushed in to release the stem with the battery in.

I did like I do with mecanical watches, take the crown all the way out, and then release the crown.

And when I try get it in, it goes sort of not in grip with the movment. Its only the second hand that moves when turning the crown.

Pls helm me, someone???

Sorry can't help you out there? never worked on a 8J56 Have you checked if there is a technical guide?`

How does the crown look? Maybe the problem is there? Is it spring loaded?

Yes sir, ...

I did think that deep in there its is a mechanical movment somewhere, but thought maybe there could be some sort of reboot like on the the pc...  But I think I do like you say, ....thanks a lot oldhippy.

Well you can see the keyless (or a portion of it) from the top of movement, so perhaps its best to remove the top plate, (and potentially the integrated circuit but thats usually the extent of it) first and check that doesnt give you the proper access.

There's usually a correct position for the stem to pull it out. Maybe you've use enough force to extract in the wrong position. I agree that getting at the keyless works will be needed to sort it out.

Does the stem/crown go all the way in? If not, try pressing on the release point while it is put back. If yes, the problem is something else, as in the setting lever having both dislodged the clutch wheel and not restraining the stem anymore.

Cheers mates!!

Thanks for all help I have got on this issue, during the weekend, I took up the watch from the dial side. And got it all in place, every thing good. I did think that deep in there its is a mechanical movment somewhere, but thought maybe there could be some sort of reboot like on the the pc... 

Anyway.... thanks   :-)

      We need to identify the movement to help you, but the oldest of these Rolco watches use Aegler-Rebberg movements that lack a calibre number and are very difficult to identify. You may end up having to make or modify a stem to fit . Post pictures of both sides of the movement when you have it and the size of the movement and hopefully it’s one that has a calibre number.  Gruen used a lot of the same Aegler movements at the time and it’s worth comparing your movement with those if you can’t find it labeled as an Aegler or Rolex/Rolco calibre. Best Regards, Mark

      How to remove shock settings from Smiths 512 movement

      By Mercurial · Posted

      The triple lobed spring, as you suggest needs to be rotated to remove it or replace it. Suitably shaped pegwood should suffice, but tools (shaped as you describe) for the purpose also exist.  If you have an assorted of replacement springs, a trilobe style KIF spring of the right size might fit.  The other spring securing the jewel also needs rotating. There is a slight opening in the setting at about the 5 o’clock position in your photo and one side of the spring should be able to be removed  there when rotated into position.  Hope that helps, Mark

      As an update, it transpired the setting on the balance side, with the jewel had one flat end and one curved. When I rotated it enough it popped out. The chaton was entirely conical and a tricky customer but once lubricated and dropped back in I put the flat edge in first and poked it in with the peg wood tool mentioned above (I made it with flattening off the end then sizing with a pencil sharpener before poking a hole in the end) then rotated and it went in well.    For the other side, magnet searching for the spring has been fruitless.    thanks for the link to the other thread

      Omega Split stem issue (will not go back in)

      By Rustinbox · Posted

      Thank you. It didn’t look rusty. For sure old.    Female part was inside the movement, and when I pushed male part, it got broken. I didn’t apply grease. Here is the photo.      Could it be that male part is too thick for some reason?
