redwatch Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 Anyone know what the correct stem length is for a Datejust with an ETA 2836 movement? Building a Turn-O-Graph and I need to cut down the stem for it. Thanks!
ubiquitous Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 I've found that the length seems to vary; it's best to size to the case/tube and crown you're working on and cut accordingly.
HauteHippie Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 Yep. You want to "sneak up" on the final length... cut, test, cut, test...
redwatch Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Posted August 9, 2011 Thanks guys. That's what I was afraid of. Oh well, I'll get to it tomorrow then.
jmb Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 Or, in my case, cut, measure, file, measure, file....get new stem then cut...
redwatch Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Posted August 9, 2011 That's what I am expecting as well.....
offshore Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 If you had one of these stem cutters- http://watchbitz.com...d&productId=150 and were prepared to do the correct measuring It can be measure once, cut once, file to fit! They take some working out, but once you get them wired, they do save a bunch of time. (and extra stems!) Offshore
redwatch Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Posted August 9, 2011 It can be measure once, cut once, file to fit! Now why didn't you tell me that last week when I ordered my screwdrivers?
