removing stem/crown on asian 21j automatic?

Hi All,

I'm about to take posession of a Narikaa Planet Ocean. This has a 21j asian automatic movement - is it easy to remove the stem/crown in order to grease it, with a view to improving its water resistance? Can anyone furnish me with an idiot's guide? Was planning to do the crown, the case back - do I need to touch the bezel?

Cheers

Ric

It's very easy to do. No need to touch the bezel or crystal. Just unscrew the caseback and set it to one side. If you see where the stem goes into the movement, look at the top surface of the movement, a few mm to the right of where the stem goes into the movement, and you will see a raised, round button, about a mm in diameter. All you need to do, is gently depress this button with the tip of a fine screwdriver (or something similar), and while holding the button down, gently pull the crown straight out. Simple as that :) Putting it back in, is just a case of reversing the process :) Best of luck :good:
