I'd like advice on how to release the winder on my 50's Seamaster 2802? Thanks all.

You need to press down on this little button while simultaneously pulling the stem/crown out.

Your Dial is a repainted one.... Like many other black ones.

But he still presses down that little button to release the stem, right? 😁

It would be maybe worth mentioning that you should pull the crown out all the way, before pushing the button and releasing it. Otherwise you'll have problems getting it back in.

Also, it does not need a lot of pressure. It’s a delicate mechanism.
