The one below the blue.

Some will recommend after you hack the movement, others will prefer to pull out after unscrew to prevent messing with keyless.

Everybody seems to have a different opinion of which position but I always do it from the time setting position. Slowly pull on the stem while slowly pressing on the button. Don't press too hard and don't force anything. Only press it in far enough to release the stem. And when re-installing, if it doesn't go in smoothly, while slowly rotating the stem, don't force it. You may need to put a little pressure on the stem release while you're putting it back in.

got it

It's the one right below the blue button. Looking at the stem from the crown in, it's right above the stem on the edge of the movement base. In front of the brass gear that's sticking out

There's only one button that has an indentation on it for using a sharp object to push it in.

Not too hard. After a few tries you'll get the hang of it. Unfortunately you'll mess up a few dials learning to do it properly.

Not if he's coached by someone that knows what he's doing:thumbsup:
