I've this lovely Wyler watch. It runs fine. I sent it out to be cleaned,  -it was completely disassembled, oiled, polished etc. My issue is the stem and crown bind. I understand it's split-stemmed. It takes a great deal of force to wind it, and with the crown pulled out, setting is also very stiff.

It was like this before I sent it out and it is still like this. Is this normal for split-stem watches? Or is this even an issue reflecting the split-stem?

Thanks

did you always have the problem or is that something recent?

don't know about every split stem, but I have one and it does not take any force to wind or set it.

this is exactly what you should have. Unless you're the watchmaker and you know the stem is split there shouldn't be any difference at all it should wind nicely and what should set without a problem.

Would have been useful  to check how it winds out of the case. 

I guess your repairman stands in front of his work not behind.

At this point I pull the crown out to set position and oil accessable section of the stem close to the tube.

      Thanks Mark I have uBlock Origin Lite add-on for my Windows Chrome browser, so I've never seen a single ad on this site ! It also removes all adds from Youtube - I couldn't bear to watch it without uBlock

      You're probably not going to see a dramatic change but you should probably figure out what the lift angle is as it probably is not 52°

      In tandem with my last post regarding the removal of Google Adsense on this website - I have also decided to fully self fund this site as a gift to the watch repair community of which I’ve been a member of, and have benefited from since being extremely lucky to gain an apprenticeship back in the late 80s.    Well, that means that I have also closed down my Patreon account - or, to be clear, stopped all future transactions on my Patreon account and this is with immediate and permanent effect.    not to mention, but I will, I really really do appreciate the contribution all my patreon and PayPal supporters have provided over the years, you guys have been absolutely awesome and helped to keep this forum alive and available for those who might not be able to afford the payments.    again, from the bottom of my heart thank you.

      My pleasure. I would rather pay more than have those annoying ads ruin this site. They were a terrible idea and something I never even saw much, but I was on my iPad yesterday testing a security update for the forum software and it was impossible. I decided then - they had to go!!! Also, co-incided with this, for those who are paying for pattern in order to help fund this site - I’ve just disabled patreon. Future monthly payments will not be taken.  PayPal is a little more complicated. I will try to work out how to cancel the few subscriptions but if you are a PayPal donator then please feel free to cancel the monthly sub.  I will, however thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping to contribute to this site financially - it means a lot. But going forward, I’m funding it personally from my pocket and that’s the end of it 😄
