altesporsche Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hey fellas, just assembling my 6263 DW based build and I'm using a manual converted 7750 for the time being, but I cannot for the life of me get this damn stem back in the movement !! Arrr !! Anyone have any tricks for this ? Cheers ! C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Cordell Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 In what position did you remove the stem ? Winding or setting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altesporsche Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Setting position. I never remove in winding position. Ive heard these are a pain in the ass but this is the first ive had issues with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Cordell Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Stem should be removed in winding position on this movement. Your keyless is out of order now. The winding pinion is not in place. You can try to shake a little bit the movement, that worked once for me. Otherwise you need to disassemble. Found this on another forum :"The problem may be in the fact that you are only applying "moderate" pressure, in my experience the 7750 takes a strong push on the set lever pin to allow the stem to lock in place.The other tip is to always remove the stem in the winding position, where the clutch pinion is pressed up against the winding pinion and prevents it from falling out of place, if you remove the stem in either the dateset or time setting the winding pinion will fall out of alignment." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altesporsche Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 ahh lol lovely., i guess i have a bit of disassembly to do this afternoon lol I have also heard the bit where it takes quite a bit of force to get them in sometimes, I tried that last evening, but i dont want to force it too much as im not so great with fine adjustments of force, i work with Large equipment that requires a lot of force... I tend to break a lot of things when assembling them in the home lol I find that i tell myself not to pull too hard when pulling a stem into adjustment position haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Cordell Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 A7753 is not as easy as ETA 28xx to service. You should find a watchsmith or a member to repair that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altesporsche Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Its not my first rodeo removing the dial should give me access to the keyless and winding gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altesporsche Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Done ? Works like a charm, the clutch wheel was out of place and flopping about.. managed to get some really fine tweezers in there and my steady hand aligned it and boom like a **** in a school teacher ?
