i over-polished the stem on my CF 126500 with SH4131 and now need a new stem. where would i find a new stem, and would a VR movement's stem work? (cut down ofc)

I find this just so strange....you opened up the back of the watch, pressed the release mechanism for the stem, pulled it out, then set about making it look shiny?......
That my friend is more than beer talking....

Although not conclusive, if you look at the shape of your stem and compare it to the ones you find online, you will get a good idea if they will fit....assume the threaded part of the stems will be the same and an eyeball of the shape and length of the mechanical end will give you the idea if it will be the same.

I wish I could ask you to show us your shiny stem without it sounding dreadful!

i thought it was a genius idea at the time...
anyway i figured this out, 4130 will fit--- i borrowed my friend's 116500 and the stem works for the 12 series. lesson to learn
