Since
the
only
function
of
the stem
in
the
Model
50
is
to
stop the move-
ment
and
set the hands, the
stem
retention has been
simplified
by
combining the stem
and
setting
pinion
and
providing
a
novel
stem
bracket
(495/3).
There
are
no screws
or
levers hold-
ing the stem.
To
remove the stem,
pull
the stem into set position main-
taining
a
slight
outward
pull.
Next,
place
the points
of
a heavy set
of
tweezers
into
the space between
one side
of
the stem
bracket
and
the stem.
Now,
gently
release
one
side
of
the stem
bracket
from the
stem
by
pushing the
ear
of
the
stem
bracket
in the direction
of
the
arrow.
You
will
notice
now
that
the
stem
will
tilt
sideways.
While
still
maintaining the
outward
pull, repeat·
the process on the
other
side
of
the
stem.
When
both sides
of
the
stem
bracket
have thus been released,
the stem
will
come
out
completely.
To
replace
the stem,
firmly
press the
stem
in
place
with a
slight rotating
motion
so
that
the stem pinion teeth
will
mesh
with
the minute
wheel
teeth.
Next,
remove the crystal
using a
Timex
crystal lift,
or
a conventional
crystal
lift
.
The movement
and
re-
flector
ring can
now
be removed
through
the
crystal
side
of
the
bezel.
Take note
of
the movement
locating
tabs in the bezel.
When
reinserting
the movement, be certain
that
the
movement
is
in its
proper
position
with respect
to
these
locating
tabs
otherwise the
reflector
ring
and
crystal
will
not
seat
properly.
