How To Remove The Crown On NH-35 Japanese Watch Movement

[@wrcthomas]

Just received an NH36a, and no one explained that the stem release arm would be hidden unless the crown is moved! Thank you explaining... You've saved me a lot of further head scratching... Great video.

Don't Touch the movement without Gloves..😁

[@mytuberforyou]

a helpful trick is to put a piece of saran wrap over the exposed movement in case you accidentally brush it, I have some small squares cut from pallet wrap and use them to cover movements from dust etc. if I have to run an errand or take a call.and don't want to hassle with moving everything into a movement tray. Usually putting it in a tray means taking it out of he movement holder and a lot of times I will simply unbuckle a strap or pull the spring bar out of a clasp so I can leave the strap or bracelet on since it's easier.

Greasy finger resting on and (no disrespect !) pressing down on the rotor while releasing the crown 😬.

[@flapjackspeeder]

this was so helpful just now, I didn't know I had to push it in first in order to remove it!! great video thank you

[@NickCheng93]

Same for me! I wanted the second hand to not be ticking while I was removing the movement so I thought it best to put in position 2, and then spent forever trying to figure out where the release lever was

nh35 is the only movement we need cos is just super fine for mods thank you for your video

[@hoppysport2872]

That was so informative and beautifully presented. The NH35A is such a terrific, robust, long-lasting movement. How does Seiko do it for under their $40 sales price? I'm constantly amazed. I have a Seiko 5 that I bought in 2012 with the NH35A. It's still ±4 seconds per day. Same with the recently-purchased Pagani Design PD-1692 Air King homage that I purchased last month.

I just pushed the crown into position without holding the catch down and it locked in. I don't think you need to hold it down when putting it back in.

[@vanwilder1101]

You don't, not sure why he does that 🤷

[@timeandnourishment1961]

Yours is the the fourth video I have watched for "How to remove the stem ", and it is by far the clearest (the first three gave conflicting advice and none of them showed the procedure particularly well). I got the stem out of my Steeldive SD 1970 only after watching your video. Thanks very much. Subscribed!

[@TheGizmoGarage]

Thank you :)

[@mattsavage6365]

The camera-work is sublime. First video where I can clearly see where I actually need to push and how it behaves in the various crown positions. Other videos just mention the general area.

[@rayaring]

Can confirm no need to press down on lever to put stem back in, just push it in.

[@TheGizmoGarage]

Good to know

[@chronocommander007]

Bare fingers operation. :-(

Good show, thanks.

[@hoiikbenjesse]

What watch is this? Specifically what case? It looks beautiful.

[@TheGizmoGarage]

One of the Jack Mason automatic movement watches. jackmasonbrand.com

[@hoiikbenjesse]

@@TheGizmoGaragecan’t find it on their website. Probably isn’t made/sold anymore..

[@TheGizmoGarage]

@@hoiikbenjesse Quite possible, this is one of their older Diver watches.

[@eliesn8358]

Thank you very muchhhh

[@rosstisbury1626]

excellant . . very helpfull thanks

[@TheGizmoGarage]

You're welcome!

[@benjaminpomeroy]

What case is that? Where did you find the case?

[@hanlinhanlin1811]

Nice

[@TheGizmoGarage]

Thanks

[@joaniebarc6763]

are replacement crowns available from seiko

[@greggusan]

Thanks for the helpful video. Doesn't this system to disengage the stem make it hard to line the hands up perfectly with the date change? With ETA, the movement is hacked, so the hands are not moving. You can set the movement up to exactly when the date changes, put it in hack position, remove the stem and apply the hands at exactly the right time. But in this case the movement is chugging along while you're doing you installation work. Am I missing something?

[@Conundrum191]

You'd put the crown back in while the watch is uncased, hack and install the hands, then remove the crown again, case the watch, then install the crown for the final time.

[@normanbuffett4642]

I have one it's brand new. Stem will not push in or pull out. It does un screw through the date and time setting functions but wont release from mvmt. Any thoughts or helpful comments?

[@TheGizmoGarage]

Have it exchanged, might be defective from the get-go.

[@seanman22001]

This video is more aptly titled how to remove the stem, not the crown.

[@MrBasHolland]

@ Li Reviews I recently bought a watch with NH35 movement. I winded it on thursday morning 9:00 55 times. Wore it continously except for sleeping and cooking so thats minus 8 hours a day. It stopped running at 6:25 this morning.... Is this normal?? Im afraid when have to wind it too often the screw ribs gonna wear of?....

[@TheGizmoGarage]

I'm not expert on movement problem, your best bet is find a watch forum dedicated to Japanese movements and ask there.

[@patras1514]

gracias

[@georgechoquette5735]

The rotor does not specify the country of manufacture (Japan or Malaysia). Is this movement legit or Chinese made?

[@TheGizmoGarage]

This is actually a prototype watch from Jack Mason using the Japanese movement.
