How to remove stem on luminox 8400 series - Navy Seal Luminox Dive Watch

take it to a watch maker for a quote and to see if the parts are available

you set it using the wheel pull it out , it should have two positions, one adjust time the other one date and chronograph, I see if I find full manual.

you must have the tools to do that. all you need is a pin remover, pliers and mini hammer.

Go to th Luminox web site ( /www.luminox.com/launch) and select "customer service".

You can find your nearest dealer by selecting "find a retailer" and inserting your details.

Pull the crown out 2 positions , set time, then push back in...if the hands dont work they are probably either rusted, stem is rusted or you have bad set levers, possibly the hour wheel is stripped also

the 3200 model was one of the sturdiest models Luminox has ever made...the crown is not too expensive to replace and unless the threads on the case tube are bad or there is water damage it would be worth repairing IMHO

On some watches - scuba usually - the crown has a rubber seal and that seal is engaged when the crown is screwed to the case. If your watch is like this, you need to unscrew the crown before you can pull out the stem. Twist the crown in a counterclockwise direction several turns. You will be able to tell when it is completely unscrewed because youwill feel spring tension. Pull out the stem to set the watch. When you finish, push the stem back in. Push against the spring tension and carefully thread the crown back onto the case. That should do it.

It is very possible that the battery is old. They sit in the stores for a while before selling. Good brands of batteries are recommended but not a guarantee of a fresh one. Batteries can be poorly made, lack a proper charge, etc. from the store. I have installed three batteries before on the same watch before finding one that worked. I sometimes have bad luck. I buy batteries in bulk and replace as necessary now.

I just fixed the same problem .There is a small arrow pointing to a small hole .insert a very thin screw driver or a pin and the stem will come out easily.

No real way to clean it yourself, you need to take it to a professional who can diassemble it, clean it then reseal...unfortunately that takes tools and the knowledge...dont try at home, if its gotten wet, it WILL need to be taken apart and worked on.
