Hi, dear sir!

Will You be so kind to give me some technique consultation? I'm not a professional watchmaker but an engineer, a good qualificated one. Besides I have an experience of adjusting, reassembling with lubricating of the easy movements. Recently I've purchased an Omega Seamaster DeVille Automatic. Their case is steel monocoque. This mov. is removing through the top bezel with crystal. At first I opened the case by inserting a little blade in the lateral cleft. Applying the gentle pressure I detached the upper bezel with crystal.

In order to remove the movement from its case it is necessary to pull out the winding crown along with its stem. But I didn't see the set lever screw from top position - usually it is situated in the bottom of the mov. What may I do in such a case?

I guess that for the complete release of the movement I must compress the big circle crossbar ring (hope You understand what I mean) - but I still can't guess how to extract the winding stem with winding crown... : ((

Sincerely Yours,
Vyacheslav from Ukraine.
