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.
