I have a problem with a 992B that I can't figure out. I have cleaned & oiled the watch & it runs fine but the problem is when winding the watch the stem does not want to go backwards in motion. I removed the dial after noticing the problem, it appears the winding & setting clutch does not want to slip on the winding pinon or another possibility is the stem is jamming some how that I can't see. Also when in the time set position the stem will rotate both direction all though it is kind of stiff.

Any suggestions would be most helpful.

Hi Tom,

I would firstly remove the barrel bridge and examine closely that everything is seated correctly, check it all rotates ok. Look of course for damaged parts always assume the worst for instance someone has been levering the movement out of the case and bent the stem or a setting/winding part, if everything ok, open up the clutch and winding pinion using the LS add some lube to the teeth of the clutch and make sure it backwinds smoothly first, then lube the cannon pinion lightly and retest

Hi Chris

Thanks for the info., I will give that a try. I had lubed the parts when I cleaned it but maybe something is wrong under the bridge. I am sure I must have something a little out of wack.

Tom,
Can you take off the dial and post a pic. It seems like something isn't meshing up correctly.
