Things getting a bit worse with my watch: As i mentioned, at first i couldn't push the stem in because something was springing it out again. I must have turned the stem retaining screw too far as it seems to have come off its plate and won't screw back in again now.
Are there likely to be any problems with getting the movement out so that I can check to see firstly how to get that screw in and secondly whether that spring is actually in there. Does it run along the side of the movement, between the movement and the case or should it protrude out of the movement anywhere?
Is this in reality a fantastically difficult piece to get in properly please? If it is in there, I don't see how it could come out and I wonder if this is the reason my repairer didn't want to try getting it back in, preferring to say that it isnt there and if needed, can't be replaced?
