freddy333 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Did you order the stem for a 2836-2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al qaeda with cheese Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Yes. But looking closer I think i pushed the release too hard and now it will not pop back up. Call this a learning experience! Cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Who did you order the stem from & are you sure it is new/unused? New stems are always much longer than required & must be cut to fit. If your stem is too short, something is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al qaeda with cheese Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Looking closer I think I screwed up when I pushed the release for the stem. Now it goes all the way in without the click and just turns. Screwed up! Thank you Cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 You will need to uncase the movement, remove the hands & dial & realign/reset the keyless works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I agree that you now need a pro to fix it.. We've all been there, so don't be bummed. What's your location and we'll suggest an inexpensive and qualified repair tech if we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Chicago , IL Thank you for your help too. Katt watch service is a forum trusted (not this forum) watch tech shop in MN, and can fix your problem for a few dollars. send a mail to gkloner@gmail.com for shipping info. highly highly recommended. I just got 2 watches back from him yesterday, and they were only sent to him a week ago. $50 to fix both including shipping costs and PP fees. friendly, quick and good work.
