CptTripps Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I have a franken 1655 that I replaced the tube/crown on last night. (Gen 1570 movement, Phong case) After putting everything back together, I am unable to get the stem back in to a position that I can wind the watch, and that it will run. (Like it's stuck on "2nd click.) If I have the movement out of the case, all is fine. The crown/tube appear to be the same size, but it's almost like the stem isn't long enough now? I don't want to crank the tube in too much further, and I'm not sure that it'd make much of a difference. My question is: Could my stem be too short, or is my tube not in far enough? I can't see any threads on it, but I'm sure if I needed to, I could get it in another .3mm or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptTripps Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Nevermind...I figured it out. I hadn't aligned the movement properly to the tube, so it wasn't centered. All good now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
