Welp, what I dreaded would happen, happened. Misaligned the keyless works on a2824-2
Someone posted earlier about the fragile Chinese a2824-2 at a failure rate of 1/5. Lucky me. Working on my first full build, got to putting it into the case and having to remove the dummy stem. I was careful to pull it out to setting position and gently push into the release button gradually with a 1mm driver while pulling out the stem. Came out ok, but upon insertion of a new stem and crown it wouldn't go. I wiggled it a bit, but still couldn't get it to go.... I then gave it a bit more pressure and it rammed in. I was a bit worried, but at this point I thought it might've been ok, the balance when was moving and the second hand was turning. I then went to pull it to setting position again, and the stem just slid all the way out :(. Ugh, I try to reinsert the stem, but it doesn't go, and the watch continues to run. I don't have the know-how to reset the keyless works ATM. I'll just buy another one and be more careful.
TLDR: first attempt at working with an a2824-2. Misaligned the keyless works and don't currently have the resources to fix.
Thank-you for listening to my rant.
