On an asian Unitas movement, the stem has come out of the watch. I can still put the stem back in and wind the watch, but I can't set the hands. Is this a hard fix.

You need to tighten the set screw down all the way for the watch to function properly:



If that doesn't work, most likely the set screw has backed out too far and you will need to disassemble and reassemble the keyless works:

It's only a pain if the keyless is messed. I am thinking if you attempt to reinstert the stem and gently twist ... tighten down the set screw all will be fine.

 

Tinker with it, what the heck. A new movement is only 50 bucks or less ;) . That's how we learn :) .

Thanks, hopefully it's just the screw. I'll let you know what it was...

I too have pulled out a crown on a Tissot Ballade Automatic, a few years ago.
I managed to put the crown back in place but asked for a refund.:(

Cheers,
Simon

This happened to a coworker, so I gave him names of a couple of repair guys in his area. Hopefully he took it in this weekend. I will let you know.
