swemoose Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I have a Pam196 with a Swiss 7753 movement, and after years of good use the stem has finally broken. Does anyone know where I can find a new crown and stem? Thanks, Swemoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalobos.erick Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 You can use alum powder to melt the stem and just buy a new stem and re use the crown. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidcreole Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 You can get a stem from eBay. Measure the stem size at crown. 7753 stem is 1.2mm thick. The crown might be 0.9mm therefore an adapter could be required. Fingers crossed it’s also 1.2mm meaning it’ll slot right in. Also compare the stem structure with the one you’re replacing to ensure it’s a match. It’s a bit of messing around but a simple job for a friendly watchmaker. If you’re not comfortable get an expert to sort you out and perhaps get a service while you’re at it. Good luck. Here’s one but you’ll be able to get cheaper. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Genuine-ETA-Valjoux-7750-Tap-12-Stem-19mm-Swiss-Made-7751-7753-7754-7760-7765-/324797311726?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 The stem for a ETA 7753 is the same as an ETA 7750 and is available in both 0.9mm and 1.2mm. Confusingly these are often referred to as TAP 9 and TAP 12, but this is not correct. The respective, correct TAP size is TAP 10 & TAP 7 (Google: esslinger watch stem tap chart) As the stem you need is available in two sizes only, the smaller 0.9mm may be described as 0.9mm, or, correctly as TAP 10, or incorrectly as TAP 9. So any description with a 9 or 10 is the smaller dia and 1.2, 7 or 12 is the larger, more common size. Regardless of how they are described it should be easy to identify whether it’s the larger or smaller stem dia. It’s much more difficult to buy a generic crown by TAP size. Hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
