    I arrived at the canon pinion solution just as I read your post and laughed out loud! Thank you! This is why I love this forum-you guys always have the answers! I decided to see where the setting was hanging up and removed part by part to diagnose it. The 3 setting wheels in the photo below...

    Problem solved! It's front loading. I was able to coax bezel off and it pushed right out through the front. Thanks for listening to my rant :). If I do get it running-will post pics!

    Memovex Travel Pocket Alarm-Uncasing?

    Thanks! I already tried that - but they are different movements/configurations and the nice one has no retaining ring like the damaged one. Hoping someone might have removed one like this damaged one before.

    Hi all, A friend asked me if I could get this running... :oops:. I told him that it looks like it was buried in someones yard for a few years before being found again. The back cover is missing and it's full of soil and rust. I had to soak the stem set screws for 2 days with penetrating...

    Thanks for everyone's continued help! So-I took off auto winder again to look at crown wheel. It is seated nicely and hub looks orig and correct. I removed and re-seated anyway.

    Bulova winding issue-10BPAC

    Today's theory: First off-thanks for all the suggestions-I'm determined to get this watch to wind! So I pulled the cover and played around with the spring as suggested. Spring pushes clutch wheel over and winding pinion is getting fully engaged and turns with stem --just doesn't engage...

    Bulova winding issue-10BPAC

    Hi-23J Bulova automatic with 10BPAC movement. Thinking that I'm missing something obvious....Watch sets with crown/stem but doesn't wind. I changed out existing stem to another correct Bulova one and it still doesn't wind via stem only sets. Keyless works seem to work fine-just not engaging...
