    By far the best way to size your stem, you did your homework. Great video.

    Thank you for helping me out - both with installing the date wheel and shortening the stem. My Sea Urchin runs now like a charm with a new movement. Great tutorial.

    You need to allow 24 hours for the loctite to cure. Don’t screw it in early, and don’t use too much glue. I did both and it leaked and I locked the crown to the case lol.

    For the initial measurement do you completely insert the winding stem into the watch to the winding position?

    what about the distance that you need to take in fact for the stem to screw on ? do you measure what u need to cut off while pressing the stem crown in ?

    I have a question. Are all stems the same length and thickness? and do all stems screw in all crowns? In my case I am looking to replace a stem and crown on an Orient Tristar

  • @adventureswithtime
    @adventureswithtime 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great video. But a question. At 0:55 you say to measure between case and crown. But you seem to show measuring only to end of crown tube. Which is the correct measurement?

  • @carlbouchaux
    @carlbouchaux 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    A big thank you Darak for this video!
    I needed to replace a stem and crown on a Seiko 5 that I purchased in the Pacific in 1984.
    I scrupulously followed the explanations, adapted the length and my watch regained its functioning.

  • @ValentechTime
    @ValentechTime 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Hello, great quality video! I think the length to cut is the distance from the watch case to crown, not from the crown tube to crown. This way you do not need to measure the stem and substruct the 7.56 mm from it's length. Also, it looks like you believe that the length of the stem inside the crown is the same as the length of the crown tube. If it is not, then your measurement would be inaccurate.

  • @PpaStrmpf
    @PpaStrmpf 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Smart and simple way to measure difference. Have another question regarding that custom painted rotor. How did you prime the rotor as it seems rotor except the weight is made of SS. I know there are some primers but they are aggresive-etching. Why did not Seiko made it's rotor like Miyota simple plain easier for applying sticker or engraving.

  • @andreharris9787

    Is that a nh35? Cause that measurement of 7.56 to cut off is helpful.

    Hi Darak,
    I am replacing a new stem and crown from a Tissot PRC 200 watch. Before I cut the stem what position does the stem need be at inside the movement. When in fully, one click adjusts the time second click out changes the date. Do I need to push the stem in as far as it goes and then take a measurement, or, pull it out the two clicks and then take the measurement. Look forward to your help.Andrew.

    Also when using loctite don’t turn whatever you apply loctite to backwards. Turn one way that tightens.

  • @mnpd3
    @mnpd3 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Still trying to figure why you measured the full stem length, then removed 7.56mm from the overall length. You already know the stem had to be shortened 7.56mm, so why not just cut off that amount without measuring the uncut stem length? The 21.xxmm uncut stem length is not used in any calculation.

    • @johnguzzo6756
      @johnguzzo6756 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Because the way Darak did it you always have the finished measurement on your calipers just in case you have to remove a bit more from the stem .

    Hi, I got a question. My watch second hand (the hand) broke while ejecting from the main module so I can see the pin half on the second hand and the other half pin from the module. Can I use the super glue to reattach the second hand onto the module? Thank you for your reply.

  • @AK-ec1uw
    @AK-ec1uw 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I don't know if this is relevant everywhere but I noticed you used Loctite 271 on the thread. I use Loctite 263 & it states on the bottle that it replaces Loctite 270 & 271. Sorry to be so anal I just thought it may help if anyone is looking to buy it. So remember kiddies Loctite 263 if you want to be a DIY pro like myself. Cheers for the great instructional video. Easy to follow

    Hi ! Thanks for the tutorial !
    I did follow every step and think I got a satisfying result I guess, everything works as it should :)
    I have only question : is this normal that screwing the crown down also winds the watch a little in the same time on a NH35 movement ?
    On my other automatic watch (Tudor) the unscrewed position winds the movement like any other watch but when screwing its crown down, I don't feel the movement being wound. Instead, it seems to have a more "free" movement to go down the thread and does not give the sensation that the movement is being wound.
    Thanks :)

  • @marcusl8613

      Use the 222. It’s purple and for light jobs. You’ll never get it off again with what he’s using

    Hello, im planning on replacing my crown on my skx. One thing I’m not 100% sure about is, is the thread of the crowntube damaged or the thread of the actual crown itself. Anyone got experience with this?

  • @737speedster
    @737speedster หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is all well and good, but after I filed the end of the stem down do you think I could get the crown screwed onto it? Nope. FML.

      @LancesterHardwood 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This measurement is for screw down crown. If you have a normal, non screw fown crown, its from the case to the crown. It's confuding in the Video...
