pafre Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi, I just received a Cousteau 2007, but the stem seems to have been broken during shipping. My seller is offering to send a new stem and crown as a first try to fix the problem so I don't have to sent back the watch. The only problem is that part of the stem is still attached to the movement and I can't pull it with my regular tweezers because it is too far in the tube. Does long narrow tweezers that would fit into the tube exist or any other tool that could help pull the stem? Thanks for your help Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 You can probably get at the stem with the movement out of the case. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pafre Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks The Zigmeister, I already tried, but the stem is just to long and wedges the movement in the case. I could maybe force it, but I didn't think it was a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Ok understood... On some models you can get the movement out even with the stem still attached, normally the 9 o'clock position has to come out first, and on this model with the spacer ring, it should be possible to coax it out of the case, with no damage. At this stage, there is really no other choice I think. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
