I have reset keyless works quite a few times in the past. From the dial side as well as the gear train side but this 2836 is driving me insane.
I can get it to set and everything engages fine. I can get it in date set and hand set but there always seem to be a little bit of up and down play on the stem.
I have a brand new setting lever and a keyless cover spring or whatever the cover portion is called. Even with that, it still has some play. The little bit of play makes it so that the stem can come out randomly. Randomly meaning, I get damn near everything assembled and then pop. Stem is out again. I can re insert the stem some times but it will not engage or it gets stuck in date set.
The only way for this stem and keyless works to stay in the movement seems to need me to slightly put some downward pressure on the stem when pulling the stem out. I can’t for the life of me figure out WTF the problem is.
When I do that, I get that the little nob from the setting lever is engaged in the notch on the stem but I cannot for the life of me figure out why it is not staying there.
The stem is brand new.
The keyless cover spring is brand new.
The setting lever is brand new.
I have tried this with about 4 different keyless parts that I had in my parts bin.
I’ve considered just getting the entire movement serviced but if I’m gonna spend that much money, in may as well just switch to a ETA.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening, because it is driving me crazy.
