Using the Yuki ETA to 15XX adapter, how does it work?

[RickFlorida]

Hello everyone.  When using the Yuki ETA adapter for 15XX cases, do I understand correctly that the adapter serves as a movement ring and I'm looking at the back of my case, I would inst all the movement and then this Yuki adapter with the flat side up?  I thought I would ask so I don't have to do too may trial and errors.  The Yuki photos looks like the adapter is used with the flat side up but I wasn't sure if that is correct or just staged for demonstration.

 

Thanks,

Correct. The slot in the movement ring is for the stem. If you put it in the wrong way, the stem wont go in. The pics are correct.

Let me add, be exceedingly careful doing so.  The Yuki ring is a snug fit to prevent the movement from sliding around and it's easy to break it in half at the slot as you press it in place.  Pricey little buggers.

Thank you to both of you.  Sorry that is what not obvious enough to me but with the frustrations I get from keeping lint and dust off of crystals and dials, I wanted to minimize the amount of times I have to insert or flip things.  So thank you very much.

Also when you press the ring on, be care what you press against.  I have, inadvertently pressed against the balance. Bad...really bad.
