AP 3120 Keyless works

[WatchNoobs]

Hi everyone!

I was swapping cases today. Took out the crown did the swap but when I put the crown back I couldnt wind or set date/time. I suspect I might have messed up the sliding pinion and then the keyless works. Is there a guide or tutorial to get this fixed? Been trying to reposition the sliding pinion and the winding pinion without any luck. Cheers!

You will need to take off the top plate, there are 2 pinions and a tiny spring, that likes to snap out of place. I've had this happen several times on several types of rep and moded movements. Don't have a tutorial tho.

@WatchNoobs Did you take out the stem in time-setting or winding position?

Hi sir! I took it out in time-setting. I tried to play aroudn with it but i still couldnt manage to get it fixed. the yoke is in place, the spring is also in place. The problem i see is that the yoke doesnt move when the sliding pinion moves, i feel like im probably doing a very noob mistake here because everything else seems to work fine just that the way im putting it back is probably the wrong way. Any advice? Thanks a lot!
