This video shows how to remove the winder (or crown and stem) from several types of watch movement. Often you will have to remove the winder before you can take the watch out of it's case.

Here I am using an old Seiko automatic, a vintage Record, an Accurist and a vintage Oris watch to illustrate the proceedure for removing the winder from the watch movement.

Dude, I've learned how to diy most of my simple watch repairs by watching your videos!

Thanks for watching - more videos to come. I regret that I am not a dial restorer though - it's a different (but related) trade :)

Thank you so much, that was a money saver, my crystal was fogged and looked awful, I removed the stem and cleaned it, looks real good now. Thank you so much for the help.

Simply delightful, strait to the point, educational video! Thank you for your efforts to put together these videos. I am a budding horologist and have a diverse background in model building, electrical engineering and electronics manufacturing. I simply love the world of analogue watches and the engineering therein. Thanks for educating me and doing it in a very helpful forum. Good bless.

Hi I'm new to this so please bear with me. Is there different size watch stems for different watches and if so how do you find the right one for a perticular watch.

Hi Ferdinand. I would guess that the front bezel needs to be removed and the dial and movement will come out through the front. If you like you can post pictures and the question on my forum (link in the description) and I will take a look :)

Great Video. I always wanted to learn how to change the dial and the hand sets of a watch. Love the vintage look and want to experiment with a cheap watch before handling an expensive swiss movement. I will cheek out the forum to learn as much as I can.

@BG-il2ym 8 жыл бұрын

Thanks very much for this. After first watching this I was getting worried that my mechanical watch didn't have one of the stem release mechanisms you refer to. But on closer (much closer !) inspection I found a little sprung plunger, just like the one in your video. It really is small though ! I've now finally been able to clean the inside of the crown glass (cotton buds and Isopropyl alcohol). :)

@Paullebbon 8 жыл бұрын

Thank you Mark. I bought an invicta (seiko automatic) form an internet site and it arrived this morning. I was pleased with the watch except it had fog inside the glass. I tried warming it gently but it must have been a cold day when they made it and it wouldn't budge. Anyway clip 2 of yours was closest and I took out the stem and cleaned the glass. Many thanks.

Thank you my friend, I have just taken my first crown and stem from my Dads Oris. Had to take the plunge in order to get to the dial and I was very apprehensive about the whole thing but thanks to this video I managed fine, getting the stem back in was more problematic than taking it out lol

Mark, Thanks to this video removing the stem from many different movements has been straight forward. I have a question not quite on the subject, but related. Normally there are screws or plastic spacer to hold the movement in the case. I am currently working on a watch that has neither, and I am baffled as to how to remove the movement from the case. Because it's a rather large watch (Ingersoll IN1602 Caliber635), there's a steel spacer that seems un-moveable b/ween the movement & the case.

Thank you for your video 1 suggestion, the thing that such videos always fail to clarify is that when removing the watch stem it MUST BE ALL THE WAY IN AND NOT ENGAGED Would’ve saved me lots of headache
