Re: Omega Geneve Dynamic help!!
In Response To: Re: Omega Geneve Dynamic help!! ()

Thanks for your reply. Excuse my ignorance but is the stem the long metal pin that sticks out of the movement?
So it seems then that I have snapped the stem as part of it is in the crown still - is that correct?
I did remove the crystal no problem but I couldn't see any way to remove the movement without removing the crown first and the only way I could see to do that was to pull it. Oops!!

: If your Dynamic is a first generation model and has an automatic
: date configuration, then pulling the crown is the worst thing
: you can do. The stem is removed by pressing a small release
: button inside the movement, which must be accessed through the
: crystal. The stem is then put in a pin vise and the crown is
: wound off.

: Sorry but from the way you describe your predicament you're going
: to have to take the watch to a watchmaker no matter what.

: Cheers
