I have some wristwatch,s that have a 0 size movements in them I am attaching a picture of 2 of them...My question is what type of stem setup did these use there is no threads in the case to put a pocket watch style sleeve in..

Pictures would be of a great help to me...
the watch on the left is a waltham and the other is a ideal watch co.

These take a short inverted sleeve that slips in from the inside of the case ring. There are no threads. I will post a picture later this evening if no one else has had a chance.

Jerry, I have several cases with that setup and never knew exactly what it was called. Thanks. Now I know it is an inverted sleeve.

Here is a photo that I hope adequately illustrates the setup. The flange on one end of the sleeve fits in a recess in the case ring. When the movement is in place it is held so that the stem can click in and out. Tom - the term "inverted sleeve" is my own but seemed to describe the sleeve. Now that I look in my Waltham material catalog I see that Waltham, at least, called it a "reverse sleeve"

Great pictures Jerry.
There are also pictures of stems and sleeves in the Swigart's American Watch Movements catalog, (in the back).

Jerry, I'll call it an inverted sleeve and give you credit for it.

Sammie, Jerry mentioned this above, but be sure that the movement is in the case for this type of setup to work proberly.
