RWG Technical Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Always cut longer than needed, always cut longer than you need...very important point. Use side cutters, preferably sharp ones, and once cut, file the cut part down with a fine file until the threads are flush (the cutter will damage and crush the threads, if you try and thread it in the crown before filing, you will damage the crown threads). Insert stem, test fit in watch, and repeat if necessary, if it's only out a small length, file the extra off rather than recut with cutters, otherwise it will be too short (trust me on this one).
