pam288 stem length

[borz]

Seems like most of the 288 reps have a stem that's a bit too long, causing the crown not to screw in all the way. How hard would it be to shorten it? Is it a simple DIY project, or would we be better off taking it to a watchsmith? It would be way beyond awesome if someone could post a tutorial.

i think the stem is not too long.

the case-tube is made of two parts.

the outer tube ring and the inner thread tube.

but the thread tube must be a bit deeper in the case tube ring, but both parts are glued together in the case.

with another radiomir my watchmaker splitted both tubes in connection with a ultrasonic bath, that the glue was removable and the case-tube came out.

he glued both tubes together in the right condition. so the crown could be screwd till the stop point.
