cougaree Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hi experts, I recently removed the crown and stem off my ETA 2824 movement. Now I can't put it back it right. The stem will go in but won't allow me to pull it out to set the time and date. I was told it's a common issue with the movement design. It can be fixed by removing the hands and dial and getting underneath of the dial to "reset" the mechanism that locks the stem. This is certainly a solution, but I would much rather to fix the problem (if there is any other way) without removing the hands and dials because this could increase the risk of damaging the hands and dial. Any thoughts/tips are much appreciated! Cougaree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Not 100% certain, but I do not believe you can get to the reset lever from underneath the movement. I am pretty sure you will have to approach it from the top. I'll defer to the experts though, but that is just my hunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I know. I'm just hoping for any ways like picking a lock at the entry of the stem to reset the lever without taking the dial off... Thanks for the input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Unfortunatly the only way to reset your keyless work is from the dial side and no other, To avoid this happening in the future always remove the stem with it in the hand set position.

cougaree Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Do you mean pull the crown all the way out (as if I'm setting the time), and then press down the button to remove the stem? Thanks Andy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 thatas the one! remove the crown only in the hand set position on 2824/36/34/46 (and some others but i cant remember every calibre number) movements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
