Cutting A 6497 Stem To Fit? Need Help

If you have the old stem, thats a good place to start, if not a bit more difficult.

Screw the crown onto the stem and insert into movement, set the stem/crown to the natural position (all the way in). Measure the gap that is below or between the crown and the case, remove the stem/crown from the movement and cut the measured amout off of the stem (be sure to leave at least 1 mm long so that you can sneak up on the correct fit)

You can cut the stem with almost any wire cutting instrument or it can be cut by filing through stem, you're going to need a file to smooth the end of the stem where the crown screws on anyway. If you cut the stem with a pair of pliers be sure to cut longer than need as the thread will be destored where you made the cut.
