Omega Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Could someone please make a pic of his 3135 stem, mine gets broken and I need reference pic. Maybe I have something like this in my parts boxes. Also it would be very helpful if someone knows if a gen 3135 stem works on the SA3135 movement? ATM I have only a 1570 stem here... Thanks in advance for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruprekt Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Welcome to the club! The stem problem in these watches is pretty well known, as is the fact a gen stem won't work. I haven't heard of anyone finding a stem that does work outside the factory that makes this little time bomb of a movement. I had two break on me. Got new stems from Puretime. And then got rid of the SA3135's for good. Stick to ETA's for reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Do one of you guys have maybe a spare for me, 'till I get new ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hava Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I think about buy these movement but is the second time i read these stem problems. The stem broke so easy or make something abrupt? HAve try a ETA stem or other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have hundrets of stems here - from ETA, Rolex 1570, DG, Miyota, and also from Quartz movements. But nothing works, the SA3135 stem is very thin. And I think thats the problem...the stem is too thin! Or maybe the material is bad??? Really don't know. I got a Sub with that movement, so I thought to wind it a bit up because the movement stops. And after the second turn it breaks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 PT told me that he solved this known problem. I suppose the replacing stem you'll receive will be different. Lett us to know about please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
