Hi. I need some help, please. I have a 16030 and the stem has come out. Bought a new stem put it in and it doesn’t change the time or date. So, I disassembled and put the stem into the two gears that should advance the time and date. 5025, 5026 and 5027 are the part numbers. The stem doesn’t seem to fit and just pushes through without “hooking” up. Shouldn’t the flat part of the stem turn the gears?

PLEASE DO NOT CHASTISE ME FOR TRYING TO DO THIS ON MY OWN. I know it’s not the smartest thing to do. Watch maker wants $1,500 to fix it. I’m retired and now on a very fixed income. Thanks
