removing the stem from a 0532-5009 (2nd)

Post21 Feb 2012, 02:07

I'm sorry to bother all of you,
but I can't take the stem out anymore.
Just pushing the pin doesn't work, and I don't know why.
Is there any other way to do it ?
Thank you very much, Alberto

what does the other side look like? on mechanical watches there are several parts the stem goes thru as it is inserted. if not done properly and they become dislodged it can jam things up. in that case it needs to be disassembled to realign the parts. a photo of the other side may help. peter

ciao Peter,
thank you very much for your reply,
I was pushing the wrong pin.
I was pushing the red circled and nothing was happening, just because
the one to be pushed was the yellow circled.

Now the stem is out of the module and the watch can be re-assembled
thank you very much !!

I wonder if the manual states this. The manual is black and white, and is hard technical writing. I like the Seiko format, but it does take a getting used to. Anyway, I am glade you got your stem out, and you pointed out the correct unlocking mechanism.

When working with semi-mechanical Seiko LCD's you might push and pull the stem a couple of times to check which levers are moving. That should give you a rough indication which one to press
