I have a vintage Timex watch with the day/date but the date won't move no matter what I try. Any idea how to remove the stem to possibly free up the date wheel. Any idea of the value? |

Value is very low. If the date is jammed, looks like you'll need to look under the dial. |

Any idea how the stem comes off? Under normal conditions how is the date set? Thanks, Brent |

The stem is either secured by a screw, to one side of the stem on the movement plate or a push pin that you need to push in and pull on the stem simultaneously. Dunno about the date, probably a quick set, if so, it would set in one of the intermediate stem positions. |
