Did you try pulling out on the stem really really really hard? If so you probably found it doesn't work. I snipped out something from one of your pictures notice the opening next to the stem? Normally when it's cased up there should be a pin of some kind found here. If you push in the here it will allow the watch to go in the setting mode.

Thanks...Yes, just a bit of leverage out there will allow the stem to move the lever towards the setting position. However, it won’t stay there. Must be a finger built into the case, which I don’t have...interestindifferent designs were developed back in the day.

how bout the maker/ model of this watch? Any guesses?

As side note: I just took the barrel out and found a Geneva stop works on this watch. Interesting because I just asked on here about these a couple weeks ago. I also assume the watch must be of decent quality if equipped with this. Still wondering the maker?

      As Mark owns this site and is it’s only administrator I would expect that any claimable IP would belong to him. There is obviously some disquiet at the moment because of the lack of response from him about several issues. Rather than go off trying to build ourselves a new site we do have a Facebook group and a discord server so that if this site disappears we can keep in touch and decide what to do about it. Mark pays for this place and I would expect that most of that would be storage/database/backups.   Tom

      Slava 2414 clamps screws

      Thanks MariusJacob. It's an option I will consider if the screw size prove to be non-standard. Currently, I am planning to first purchase a digital caliper to precisely measure them. Head diameter is 2 mm, length 2mm as well, but my old caliper is too worn for the thread diameter. It may be 0.9 or 1.0 mm. I keep going ...

      Hopefully something less precarious and better managed than Facebook,  but that might be a last resort. From what I have read above,  people are concerned about potentially losing the extensive database of reference material such as walkthroughs that they have built here.   A good continuity plan would preserve that.  I don't imagine that a site like Facebook would be capable of hosting such a thing in any practical way. From my experience of it,  it mainly seems to be configured to allow businesses to advertise,  and people to post random photos. I don't think that providing logical access to an organized collection of related data is really part of Facebook's mission statement. The Invision platform that we are on does a good job of that and provides a good search function, thread following and so on.  A question that would immediately arise for continuity planning, of course,  is "who owns the copyright on the Watch Repair Talk database?"

      The number in the case (1444) is the reference number. On older movements it's a shorter number. When I applied I sent the serial number from the movement and the reference number on the case back. In my case for a 1967 Cal 30L the case number was 7855.
