  1. The pushing side of the lever is too long and is pressing the crown way too tight. I'm planning to Dremel it but I'm not sure about the propper shape or lenght. Could you help me with some tips or links? Thanks in advance.

    If da stem ist cut too long, da pilot shaft will "bottom out" against the main plate (or da retaining groove against da set lever stud when it reaches da end of its travel). In either case da crown gasket will not be fully compressed irrespective of how "tight" da lever action ist. For dis reason, da lever tension ist always checked with da movement removed.

    How does your current water resistance compare to it's pre modification level?

    p.s. long stem = broken stem or wet uhren

  2. "Asian 23J" ist not exactly da calibre. Da calibre ist da manufacturer name and da numerical code dat ist assigned to dat particular movement.

    A picture of da movement would be nice. Anyway der ist probably a little plunger dat if depressed, moves da stud on da setlever dat engages da stem for retention - out of its groove. Dis recessed plunger will be in some proximity to da stem. Alternately der could be a screw (da "setlever screw") dat by loosening accomplishes dis same task!

    sm iiH!

  3. Springs and me still don't get along very well. Is the style used in the clone movement "old-school" or just a normal manufacturing variation?

    old school with lots of variations. Dozens of different swiss cos. produced da anti-shock material (and most of dem don't interchange very well).

    sm iiH!

  4. Your cannon gear is slipping, it needs a complete servicing, and restoring of the cannon gear friction.

    "restoring of the cannon gear friction" = tightening da cannon pinion

    stiff says dats pretty simple.

    From dis far away stiff can't tell if your uhren needs da full "COA" or not. Fur de Valjoux, stiff thinks dats worth about 300E.
