USE A SCREWDRIVER to push the release button! If you push too hard, it gets all messed up. If you use a flat head screwdriver (you can see the spacing cut into the metal that fits a the screwdriver head), it ensures you don't push the release button too far.
Thank you "very" much. I'm glad i saw this video. I ordered a watch with the PT5000 movement which is a clone of ETA 2824-2. I will do as you describe if i need to remove the stem.
Thank you for the very detailed explanation. I always get ETA movements and Seiko movements mixed up. One you start with the stem all the way out and the other, all the way in. God help you if you get it wrong or forget altogether. Not fun when, having just cased a fully serviced watch, you realize you've buggered up the keyless works and have to strip it down again. :-(
Not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of days xD
Similar but not the same, there is one more plate holding the date wheel near to 6 position in 2892/2893. if your is 2892 it's ok to try but is not recommended for 2893 because there's the additional GMT gear train that needed to be removed before reaching the keyless mechanism.
Hi, I have few piece of ST19 stem in hand, please email me walterloyy@gmail.com, so that I can send you my ebay listing. But I may not able to help on the crown as it depends on the case...
Oh... The trick is to press the notch with minimum force while pulling the stem, this cannot see from the video actually... You need to reset the time setting mechanism, please refer to my video for disassembly and assembly of the time setting mechanism.
I had to take off the hands and dial then remove the keyless works and put it back together. The yoke came out of the sliding pinion. Also don't use tweezers like he does. The hole for the detent has shoulders which is why the hole is oblong. you use a screwdriver to depress the detent. The shoulders keep you from pressuring the detent in too far and messing it up.
Opps, sorry I missed this point ... I used a general purpose tweezers but not a fine tip one. For me, the ideal tool for this 'press button' operation is a piece of brass that is file to fit the slot.

@Dakari Colin Yea, I have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)
What movement holder is that? Nice video, thank you
Thanks a lot, this was really helpful to follow!
I removed the stem the wrong way and now I can't put it back.. I'm very layman when it comes to this... Should I take it to a watchmaker?
Hi!!! I need help please! I have eta 2893-2 gmt? It is the same procedure? Thank you

Awesome videos!
Do you know at which position the stem needs to be for removal for the seagull ST1701 movement?
The correct tool is a screwdriver.-
How do you fix this issue?
Anyone who shows you how to remove the stem using this method does not have the skills to tell you how to correct it
Hi I have the seagull 1963 with the st19 mov. I need a stem and crown but I cant find them online. any help? thanks

You can get a ETA 2824-2 stem on EBay for a few bucks each.
How can i resolve it if i do the wrong way???
Undo the steps until back to the starting point and assembly again.
how to fix wrong pulling the crown
You need to reassemble the time setting mechanism, please refer to my other videos disassembly and assembly of the time setting mechanism.
I tried removing the crown like you and it still wouldn’t go back in.
Oh... The trick is to press the notch with minimum force while pulling the stem, this cannot see from the video actually...

Broke my arm this way.
Thank you.
This is the wrong way. You need to use a proper screwdriver to not ruin the key works.

Better to use a 1 mm screwdriver.
