Haha so story goes i have had a broken 26mm datejust from my friend for ages now couldnt set The time or date but could Wind it so

All The great guys here sharing their knowledge have thought me it was either the keyless or The stem just needed to get back In gear

Back to The story i cracked it up using a rubber ball gave me a hard time but Got it open

Released the stem and tried setting it In but nothing had changed so tried 4 more times nothing after one more try i was Ready to Call it a keyless isue and Call it a day

I know that feeling.... had an issue with one of my first reps. Got it open, dismantled the movement and found a tiny, tiny issue, ordered some parts and was proud as hell when I closed the case and it ran like new.

Good job!

Maybe time to order some proper tools for the future

For the grease just about any hardware / home improvement store sells silicone grease in the plumbing section for under $5.00.
