correctime Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Would anyone happen to know the overall length of the stem and crown (early 703 SS) on a 16800 Submariner ? Building from scratch and had nothing to measure for referrence. Thanks in advance guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I always just cut down little by little. I've tried the measuring trick and it never seems to work out for me very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 What Red said. Stem length can vary depending on tube used and actual case etc. I always start with the stem in the movement and place the movement in the case and see where the stem actually meets the case on the inside and them mark the location of the stem and start at the median of the two marks.

correctime Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks guys. "E"...that's actually a great way to start. Eliminates removing the stem too many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Any time bro. Just BE CAREFUL. The dial and movement spacer in will give you a better reading, but no caffeinated drinks before you do this. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
