Guest Teedotyyz Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 If someone could advise me where I can locate a caliber .90 watch stem I would be indebted to you. I have tried Ofrei and Cousins and either I am doing something wrong or these stems are as rare as hens teeth. Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Without knowing the caliber number of the movement, no one can help you...there is no such thing as a caliber 0.90mm stem... The 0.90mm only refers to the size of the threads that the crown screws into, it's like saying I need a 14 inch tire for my car...but not knowing the width or aspect ratio. You order stems by identifying the movement, i.e. ETA 2836-2, and the stem is a 401 part number, and then the size of the threads, 0.90mm. Some stems are only available in one size, others in two sizes... RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Teedotyyz Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) Thank you The Zigmeister. I guess I have rec'd some bad information. I am unsure of the watch movement other then it is a chinese automatic. Here is a pic of it. Edited July 29, 2007 by Teedotyyz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Well then your only chance of finding a replacement stem for that one, is to try a Miyota 8215 stem, sometimes they are the same... If you can remove the stem, and post a clear picture, I can let you know if it looks like the Miyota stem will fit. RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Teedotyyz Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 My camera skills are lacking but here goes. There is a portion of the stem missing so it is not a true representation of its actual length (at least thats what I tell my wife). Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stem doesn't appear to be the same as the one in a Miyota...finding a replacement can be next to impossible...even the watches with the Venus 175 copy movement, which you would think accept a Venus 175 stem - don't...they are not the same.

Guest Teedotyyz Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) That is too bad. I had high hopes. I would hate to have to scrap the watch over my stupid mistake. Is there any other option? Replacing the movement possibly? The Zigmeister, I know your time is precious, thanks for your advice. Tim.

RWG Technical Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 The only suggestion I have at this point, is that I can send you a asian stem, and you try it out, if it works, great...if not...not much else that can be done. The only possibility of movement replacement is with a Miyota 8215, if it would fit...you can't source these types of movements with the subdials etc... If you want to try the stem, shoot me a PM and your addy, and I'll put on in the mail for you. RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
