well i am deep into a new mod and i am almost finished but ran into a slight problem...my 6309 stem and crown will not fit into a case that was originally fitted with a 7s26 movement...i see the 7s26 will come apart in two pieces..but the 6309 dress stem is one piece?..anyone ever run into this?....i do not want to drill the hole larger...but i will if i must..just hoping there is a better solution...thanks in advance..John

Pictures speak a thousand words!. 7s26 diver's case or dress? If you can give the movement and case numbers (xxxx-xxxx) from the donor watch the 6309 crown and stem came from, and from the 7s26 one, it'll help enormously.

Hi, according to Borel, the crown male post is the same as a 6309 diver's watch (which is telescopic), they may be in error though - could you take a pic of the crown and stem please?

well i feel foolish...i did not take into consideration that dial can be setup for the 3 and 4 o'clock position...so i need to modify the pins to make this work..back to the drawing board...
