Watches can be damaged without proper handling and while the repair you are about to attempt may seem simple, you can easily break or ruin the watch with any small mistake. If you have any doubts about this repair, do not hesitate to take your watch to a professional watchmaker or jeweler.

Absolutely perfect video instruction. It made my job of cleaning the interior surface of the watch crystal easy. Thanks so much.

[@condoose5591]

Many thanks. This video told me exactly what I needed to know. Well done!

[@mohanraj3778]

Thank you so much. I repaired my watch. Thank you.

[@stuartanderson3020]

Thank's, I took the back off, removed the stem and fixed my wonkey watch hands. I used vernier calipers to unscrew the back (a tool I had already for measuring). Then a sewing needle with a magnifying glass to release the stem.

[@kristindolieslager2861]

[@stevesj12]

[@gyorgykurti6856]

As for a beginner helped me a lot. Thanx.

I've just repaired my watch. However: when removing the stem it is crucial to TURN the stem when pulling! You've mentioned that when described putting the stem back. I haven't found any button, but in place roughly shown on video, IDK, I push it with a very sharp tool, pull the stem while turning - it comes off easily. Geez, this thing looks very delicate, I hope I haven't broken anything else. What was broken in the first place: the minute hand displaced towards the second hand, blocking the second hand randomly. When I removed the movement, the minute hand went completely loose, I reattached it in place, made sure it doesn't block the second hand and well, it works as charm. THANK YOU! I would never did this without this video.

[@devanandramanathan4281]

Nice explanatory video. Helped me fix my sons watch. Thank you.

[@bhuvannaik6185]

Thanks dude i was trying it from hours 😍😍

[@petercomeau7107]

Thank you for such clear instructions. Looking for the 'arrow' that indicates where to press for the stem release, I found it as a printed arrow on the PCB track. So useful to know what to look for. Please note that some stems, as with mine, need to be turned to 'unscrew' first. Made the whole disassembly and final assembly such an easy process.

[@surajthakur3408]

I was unable to pull out the stem.. And this vedio helped me... Thanks

[@DurgeshVetale]

Perfect for removing the movement of my Lorus Quartz watch, exactly the same movement as in your video. The inside of the crystal needed cleaning, job done and all looking good now :)

[@bonnefille1036]

Vidéo fort intéressante merci

[@leonardomorales4810]

Thank you guys !

[@southpark4151]

I thought that 'replace' watch movement also included removing the old movement from the watch face, and swapping the old (bad) one with the new movement.

[@videja6053]

I have a question please : I have guess watch model no. 113515G1, this watch I tried to change the battery, but when I did I damage the closer where it should be over the battery, then I use a small aluminum sheet and put it instead of that, the watch working very well and after 3 days the second hand is working continually and the other not. the minute hand and hour not working. Please, can you help me? Thank you again.

I am trying to take the stem out of a Nixon watch but there is a wider part on the stem similar to stem 401-1599 in your parts list. I can get the stem to release but it won't pull out of the case. Can you tell what step I am missing. Thanks

[@artina.i6563]

perfect

[@johnk3772]

What is the metal wire that popped out when I rotated the part of the watch?

[@sachinpatel3177]

Thanks

[@nadidshawban2004]

Can u make a video on how to repair a watch of which the pin or dialer has been pushed to hard the it contains the same machine as the one I used (battery operated)

[@ivancapuz9471]

Can i put a different eta movement from tissot quickster like a better eta movement?

[@msmoppett]

On my Bering watch the movement does NOT tip out as in your otherwise excellent video. There is another tight fiting s/s rim that has to be removed but no idea how. The movement looks the same, a VX32E. Any ideas please?

[@rubinsteinway]

When putting the stem back, should it always be turned first, then pushed in to click? I'm pushing it only and finding it difficult to click it back in. Then it pulls out totally, without being secured into the mechanism. I have been careful to position it correctly. To be honest, I am practicing this on a junk watch.

[@arthuryellin645]

THANK YOU so much. I've replaced batteries, adjusted bands and all that, but I could never figure out how to remove the stem! Is there any remedy for a loose second hand?

[@afistfulofpimples1745]

Yes

[@chrisp7214]

I struggled a bit because I could not see well enough....But Success! Thanks a lot.

[@curiousassortment]

I have an old seiko quartz. Can't find the release point for the stem. If I sent you a photo would you be able to spot it? Thanks.

[@someteorites1407]

Thank you for your video. My inside part of my casio looks almost exactly like yours but i don't know why when I open it, there is a tiny spring on the side which falls and i don't know where it's supposed to be... Anybody has any ideas?

[@larrypundiramen]

While servicing my watch the band hit the orange spring, the watch is fine for the most part but somtimes i feel its minute hand is moving faster or slower . Whats the orange part called?

[@toanish]

Thank you. This video helped me.

[@yusufaliyusufali8845]

#Thanku you so much..I repaired my watch..,*

[@dwayneenglish7763]

How do I remove the band completely from my big tic.

[@andreissa9591]

I was able to remove the stem perfectly just like in video. The watch movement won't come out though. It seems the back opening is smaller than the front face of watch. Are some watch have non removal movements? This is Daniel Wellington B32R6

[@terrydawe89]

Which order do the hands go back in

[@Esslinger]

[@pman8330]

Is there longer lasting batteries can you upgrade batteries on wrist watches

[@ahmedshaeik18]

Is possible to change slow tik-tik movement of second hand to fast or smooth movement? Maybe by changing watch machine or something else???

[@leepauldonoghue]

Does anybody know the name of the dark green plastic frame surrounding the mechanism of the watch (UNDER THE BACK COVER) My new pulsar watch was dropped and the plastic frame which keeps the battery area and face of the watch stable is now missing. I will have to order a new part but have no idea what it is called or where to begin? Please help. TY

[@tanvipedamkar9324]

Can they be fixed, i would love some expert, advice. Cheers Karl
