I have this movement but mine has a broken crown. This movement is on eBay. Is the movement number circled in green (LP37)?

Also is the button circled in red pushed to release the stem/crown from the movement?

Thanks

Not got experience with Lucien Picard but i would have assumed the 'f54642' to be the calibre number, i could be wrong.

The part you've circled in red is actually the centre wheel pivot, the stem release on this is not a button but a screw, the small one closest to the edge of the movement, nearest the stem, It does not screw out of the movement or need to be turned a great dea to release the stem. turn it too much and the setting leaver will fall off the bottom.

I was able to remove the broken stem. I purchased (eBay) a complete LP37 movement (has stem and crown) for $14 including shipping. Now I have two movements to practice taking apart and hopefully putting back together again. Doesn't look too difficult. Does anyone know how to release the dial once the hands are removed?

    • 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.
