kingkitesurf Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Is the ETA stem reusable when replacing the crown for a gen one on a MBW 1665. I read on the forum here that the stem thread is the same (10) but what about the lenght. Any good tips on how to get it out without specific tools and if needed where to buy the correct (longer or shorter) one? I am looking for experienced opinions. Thanks.

slickdick Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 you have good chance it wil be reusable. If too long you can cut off, or you can buy stem extenders to make it longer. or you can buy other stems, they are not expansive. btw je kan het heel makkelijk testen. je kan het makkelijk knippen met een knijptang met schuine bek.

ubiquitous Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I re-use all of mine. Have never had a problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Use a pin vice to remove the old one and you'll almost always be able to re-use it. You can get cheap pin vices at most electronics stores if you don't want to buy an expensive watchmakers one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
