Hi,
I’m sure there is nothing rare about the caliber movement I have. Just have to be able to get it out of case to check. Am guessing from the case that it is from early 70’s which would make it a 1001 or 1012. Could possibly be 752, whichever of that caliber family has sweep second. Since I originally posted this I did more research to be sure of what I had read about these split stems. I see Bergeron has split stem remover which does exactly what you do with clippers, it’s much more expensive. I just wanted to be sure before I started pulling on that stem. As I said last week I broke a regular stem on seamaster I have been fixing up. Had just installed new omega crystal and went to set time. As I pulled stem past quick set click and before it went into set mode dang thing broke at groove detent fits into. Had to take off hands, dial, date ring parts, then remove most of the set bridge parts just to get piece of stem left in watch out. Fortunately I had spare stem.
Thanks,
Charles
