1675 stem removal

[Lamone]

I would like to know how to remove the stem on the 1560 movement.

The crown fell off, I need to take the stem out the movement to put the crown back on.

Also, where are the dial's feet on the 1560 movement (at 6 and 11?)

Unscrew the screw (in red circle) a little bit (NOT all the way) and keep it slightly pushed down then push the stem out of the case with a small screwdriver where the yellow arrow points.
Good luck!

Edit: don't forget to put a little loctite on the threads before you screw the crown back on!

Thanks Vanessa, you're great
Loctite that's the secret. I was wondering how I would bond the crown to the stem once it's screwed back on.

Thanks Vanessa, when I was younger I used to like looking at the insides of car engines, these watches are much more interesting.

Hi Vanessa, just changed a crown on one of my Subs and this info was just what I needed to achieve that, thanks for posting here

Sorry to bring this post back from the dead, but...

What size screwdriver is needed to remove the stem? I have a "watchmaker's precision" screwdriver kit, but they're all too big to fit in the hole. Also, my blades are too thick to loosen the 2 clamp screws that hold the movement down.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Brad

I filed and polished mine down to the right size....what a pain that was.

It's not uncommon to have to modify a screwdriver to fit a specific screw...
