Hi,

can somebody help me with this movement. I need to remove the stem. But I cannot find any release button or lever.

By the way: What kind of movement is this?

Looks like some form of an A21 movement. To remove the stem, look down at the movement, and look where the stem and movement meet. On the movement, almost on top of where the stem is, there should be a little hole with a small button inside of it. If you push down gently on it, while the stem is pulled out to the time setting position, it should come right out.

Yes, GENTLY! Do not push any harder than it takes to remove the stem or you will screw up the keyless works and re-setting that is probably going to be beyond you for the time being.

+1 On pushing just enough. I pushed too hard and messed up the keyless works once. :lol:

Sorry, I know these buttons. But this one has no button. It seems to be a seiko clone.

A better photo would help, with the stem visible!

Try moving the stem in and out, whilst closely watching the movement.
Wherever you spot any movement will be close to your release button.
