#Seiko 6138 & 6139 watches: How to remove the stem & crown
Channel: Mizeni – for Seiko collectors
Date: 2023-01-20

Stem removal on a Seiko 6138 or 6139 chronograph watch movement in easy steps:

1. Do not pull the crown out to the first or second click.
2. Use something with a fine point to push on the stem release dimple.
3. While pushing on the dimple (not too hard), gently pull the stem out.

To replace the stem, you don't need to push on the dimple again. Just push the crown and stem in slowly, rotating it a bit if it gets stuck.
