Need help with athaya 55 mm pilot case

Post by norskguru88 »

I have received an athaya 55 mm pilot case from a friend for assembly. It has a movement holder for a molnija 3602. I ordered a stem for the movement from eBay.

It look like the crown is smaller as compared to the stem thickness.

I want to ask if we get molnija stem in different thicknesses?

Thanks

I am by no means an expert, but isn't the standard stem 1,5mm and the crown takes a 1,2mm?

I think that's the smallest stem size they come in. Athaya has some stem adaptors 1.20 to 0.90, assuming that's the diameter of the opening on the crown. Does sound strange though...

This might work.... need to make sure the stem tube hole is big enough to accept the added diameter.
