philbone Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi all, Removed the movement from my secs @9 11650 Daytona Rep to center a chrono hand, which I did without any problem. However, now I cannot re-insert the winding stem. I suspect that the keyless mechanism may have gone out of alignment. Please can someone help me with a walk through - I am hoping that I will not have to remove the dial and hands to get down to the base plate... eek! Thank you Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I just went through that same problem with an A7750 yesterday. It was a b*tch to get back in. I was pretty sure the keyless wasn't screwed up since it would go in a pretty good way and would catch on the winding gear so it would wind the movement, but not go all the way in. I fought with it for 20 minutes and tried pushing the release pin down while inserting it. I don't know what the problem was but it finally snapped into place. I normally tell people not to use too much pressure re-inserting the stem, but this one took a little more pressure than I'm used to and made me very uncomfortable. I should also mention that I hate fooling with A7750 movements. Good luck, and don't give up without a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Same happened to me with my hbb v6. Just get the stem 100% straught in and press stem release buttom down (only slightly) and wiggle it in. Definitely not as smooth as an eta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbone Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 No luck - had to remove dial and reassemble keyless works. Took the opportunity to completely take apart and clean / oil the movement, but not without cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
