路Hi again guys. I picked up a reduced Speedmaster with an 1143 movement. I bought it on the bay without a stem or crown. I was able to order the parts from Ofrei.com and replace them. I was careful to pull the remainder of the broken stem out to the time setting position before depressing the catch and releasing the stem. I was able to replace the stem and everything appears to be in order, but when the stem is pulled out the the time setting position it seems to make a noise like the clutch wheel is just barely making contact with the setting mechanism, but not successfully turning the watch hands. Overall the push and pull of the stem appears to be a little loose and sloppy, not as crisp a transition between winding and setting as I'm used too. I've taken apart enough of the basic movement and winding assembly to see the clutch wheel and winding pinion, but nothing visually stands out, other than the clutch wheel appears like it should possibly move a bit closer the setting mechanism when the stem is pulled, but I'm not sure how to make that happen. Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks
