Might be better to ask in the Watchmaking forum.

 

I made a thread there. Thanks!

 

Asian 2824 clones are notorious for keyless works which don't tolerate shenanigans well. Remove the stem at the wrong crown position, or jostle the movment with the stem removed, and the keyless works can get wonky. Involves rebuilding the keyless works to make it work again.

Check videos for instruction on how to re-set the keyless works, evaluate your skillz, and then make a decision about what to do with it. Might be cheaper to just pick up a whole ST2130/PT5000 movement.

Bought this case for this movement. Came with a plastic ring. Will another movement work in it? Can someone tell me? I think i am just gonna buy a NH35/36.
