Hey, JerseyMo, hope you don't mind me asking. Do you have any advise on how to pull the stem, does it unscrew, or is there a retaining clip on the 116 movements.

maybe it is just me but, I find being called "Hey" is not appropriate unless it is from someone you are very familiar with.

I apologize to both of you. I did not realize i would be required to create an account to ask a single question, and did not really plan upon joining or commenting upon any other discussions.

I also apologize for my terminology sir, as i have no experience in any forum discussions, i did not mean any disrespect, and i figured if you did not care for my question or phrasing you would just not bother to respond.

 The Timex camper is a front loading case.  You must lift the crystal first.  Once done, you lift the dial ring.  This will expose a small slot to the right of the 3 hour mark.  This allows you to see a notch in the stem.  I use a fine tipped pair of pliers to grab the stem and than unwind the crown.

      Introduction

      By RobS · Posted

      Hello forum, I have just joined the forum and I believe it is the done thing to introduce myself.  I am based in Surrey UK and am essentially a complete novice at watch repair.  Fairly life long interest in watches, starting from not being allowed one as a child as I kept taking them apart… After watching a you tube video of a watch service, I thought to myself “I could do that…”. Well I got myself a Seiko 7002 dive watch that was a non runner. Striped cleaned and reassembled. With much blaming of tools, dropped parts and feeling out of my depth I got it working again. I built my own pressure tester and it leaked like a sieve! fixed now though.    I’ve since done a few 7002’s and an NH35A with mostly success. But now I’m left with quite a few working movements and no budget for cases. Overall my lack of a timegrapher has really hampered things and efforts using phone apps have been disappointing.    I next moved to an ETA 2472, all went well until I snapped the stem after failure to find a suitable case for it. Alas replacements seem almost the price I paid for the movement! Hopefully I’ll stumble on a suitable one one day.   Currently working on a Smiths 512 pin pallet movement. All went well until the shock protection. My goodness they are tricky compared to all the others and now I’m down one shock spring. This was my first movement I’d done with no video or walkthrough or even manual for backup. So I was pretty pleased with my self, briefly.  Well, that’s me and my watch repair journey.    Rob

      Something odd is going on with email notifications. As I posted above with the screenshot, when I checked my notification settings I saw that somehow the option to send an email notification in addition to the browser notification was not selected, even though previously that had been working for me. So I selected the email option, in addition to the two top options of automatically following new content I post or reply to. I did not get an email notification for your post (I did get the browser notification), which I should have (it does show me as subscribed to this thread) and when I went to look again at my notification setting, the board software has again unchecked the email notification option (in addition to the two top automatically follow options). The below left is a screenshot of how it was setup after my last post and the right is how it was just now when I rechecked. For some reason the board is resetting this preference on its own.

      I feel like I've achieved the next level up 😅 . First watch with homemade part installed ( setting lever ). FHF 73, not bad to work on, simple and sturdy, and part working perfectly.  An Avia and in time for this year's Olympics.  It has a teenage dial ( bit spotty ) 😅

      I am.  On my phone just using the bell symbol, I don't bother with email notifications.  Actually I  stopped receiving email notifications a long time ago, I  don't remember cancelling them.
