It should just "pull" out.


Hi Jack,

I tried this once myself. the crwon & stem should just pull out. It's a tongue & groove arangement. The toungue is on the stem & the groove is in the movement.

It make take a little bit of force.

Once you've removed the crown/stem, you'll probably need to "release" the movement.

There's a "locking ring" visible around the edge of the dial. You need to move this ( I can't remember in which direction, sorry ), to release the movement, which should just drop out, when you turn the watch ( gently ) upside down.

Rebuilding is just the reversal of the above.

I'll see if I can take some pics & make a small tutorial/web page on this.

I hope this helps

Steve
