hello guys i have a steelfish with a china 2813 movement ..

it works fine but i can feel the power reserve wind as i screw in the crown .

It could also be your crown not disengaging from the stem.

Your not going to damage anything with this problem, I would leave it alone. You shouldn't be handwinding your auto's anyway

Hey guys can you please please to me where to buy a uncut stem for a china dg2813 ..

thanx man .. i have new in the pack eta stems but they wont work with the china movement .

Have you checked if the crown spring mech is working first before you replace the stem, remove the crown and stem and see if the part where the stem screws into, copmresses into the rest of the crown,

I am assuming that this steelfish did not always wind the rotor,

But then again just do what Z says and leave it.

crown does compress , stem broke looking to buy new uncut stem for dg2813 ..

thanx .,
