Hi everybody,
I had to remove my divers movement to set the hands new as they did not align well . After I did the work I had problems to put the stem back into the movement and I thought it was a keyless issue.
i disassembled the keyless mechanism put in the crown and stem and everything worked as it should.
i wanted to put the movement back into its case and released the stem from the movement (red screwdriver) as soon as I put the movement into the movement holder and the case movement stops running and stem does not click in...when I take it out everything is fine.... what the hell am I doing wrong? Any help is highly appreciated:)

thanks Fredl

Did you press the hands down fully? Could be contacting the underside of the crystal

I’ll have to check but that would not explain why the stem does not click in the movement....

Did you set the stop lever in correct position when you reset the keyless?

I think so as all functions worked (time and datesetting as well as winding) before I removed the stem again to put the movement in the case....

I think you should check it anyway. Maybe it's bent or something this don't allow you to press the stem back and also is stoping the movement.

problem solved....the movement holder was the problem .... it did not sit proper in the case and caused the problem....

thanks for your hints!
