I have a ladies Braun quartz fashion watch that I have replaced the battery on before.  This time, when I popped off the back, something happened and two of the hands popped off too.  Ugh!

How do I get the movement and stem out so that I press the hands back on?  I can't see an obvious stem release button.  

Thanks in advance

Look for a small dimple or place on the plastic yoke where you can push with a tweezer. You might have to pull the stem out to the setting position to see it. Just for reference, this is a Miyota 5Y20 movement.

Yea the crown should be all the way pulled and that's where a button/lever should be.

It's possible that you managed to pull the movement away from the movement and the dial pushed against the hands and, therefore, 2 fell off.

skipwilliams, I'm having the same problem. Were you able to remove the crystal to position those hands back in place?

You are directing to a member which had posted once only and joined just because of the issue, I suppose that is the same as you.

After removing the stem replace back and the crystal is removed with a 10cc syringe.

    • Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.
    • As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
    • Hi  in regard to your questions,   The springs should ideally removed from the barrel but to do this you need a mainspring winder that are quite expensive for a one off. Or you c a make your own see Google “ joes mainspring winder”. I have made two and they work well, you will also have to source some tube for the retainers. the gathering pallet cann be removed using levers ( mini crow bars) again I made my own no problem. the case can be glued using evostick wood glue but bind the case together to close the crack. When solid you can use wax sticks (used for furniture) melted and rubbed in to cover any blemish left. best to clean the case and then use bees wax to polish, a bit of elbow grease needed  do not clean the dial with anything other than warm water and a couple of drops of mild soap. Try on an inconspicuous part first. There is a product called MILIPUTTY in various colours on eBay that can be used on cracked enamel dials depending on how bad it is .
    • I was wondering because of the alum idea.
