sssurfer Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Argh! I have my 028 opened and exposed to all the threatens from the outside world, and I am unable to locate which screw I have to unscrew to release the crown stem! Mvmt: 2892A2. HHEEELLLP!!!!!

RWG Technical Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) That is because it's not a screw, it's a pin release... move the rotor on the opposite side of the stem, follow the stem into the watch with the stem pointing up...as you get to the bridge above the mainplate, on your left of the center line for the stem, is a small notch and a pin in the center, this is the stem release......to the right of it you should see the black screw for the autowinding bridge... Press ONLY WITH a 1.00 mm Screwdriver, the screwdriver should go to each end of the SLOT, if not, it's too small and you will mess it up... The 2892 takes very little pressure to release with the stem in the winding position, press gently while pulling on the stem and it will come out... NO small screwdrivers, and you should be fine.

There is no reason to press on this pin to install the stem on a 2892, it's got very light spring pressure, as long as the watch is in the winding position, then insert the stem carefully, and rotate it as you put it in, and keep pushing gently and you will hear it click in place... I never press on this release on this model, it works just fine... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
