Hi,


I dropped my TAG Heuer Carrera replica and the seconds hand got loose. I would like to fix it back. But I can't figure out how to remove the crown. Usually there is a button than can be pushed and the crown with wind stem could be pulled out.


Does anyone know how to remove it?


Does anyone recognize which drive this is?


Thanks

Try cycling from winding to time set position on the crown and look for the dot at the green arrow

The red circled lever was also how someone once released their stem

The small bolt broke. I guess it was not meant to push it.

Hello,
A friend of mine has got exactly the same watch mechanism; but this time it's a IWC replica. I have removed stems from many watches but with this one i can't find de clue..... (i have to remove it because the second hand has become loose).
So can someone tell me how to remove the crown/stem from this replica? For photo's: see above; click on them for a magnification.
Thx in advance !

Got it done :laugh:. I't's the point at the green arrow in the photo. Don't set it in the time set position ! Keep it in de winding position. It isn't easy because when you try to take the stem out, the levee moves inside.... So you have to push on it with just the right strength.
