Gentlemen, You have a new name: ***** Superstar's *****. Its was half a turn, clockwise! I had previously tried to unscrew the two screws mentioned by Marc, but I was pushing against an end-stop. When I turned them half a turn clockwise (tightening), off the dial came. They are in fact the two blades that Geo mentioned. I was beginning to lose faith, but now its onwards and upwards... until the next calamity :-). Thanks again I'll post a pic when I put a new battery in the camera. regards George

There is one screw in roughly the 1:30 position in your pic dead in between the balance cock screw and the barrel bridge screw. The second screw is in roughly the 8:00 position in a hole in the barrel bridge. I am also lacking in direct experience of this particular movement but those two screws do not look like bridge screws to me and I'm willing to bet that they are are the screws as described by Geo. Give them a half turn and gently test pry the dial to see if anything has loosened up at all. I do mean gently though, you do not want to deform the dial. On a lot of movements that use this type of dial fixing you can actually see the ends of the dial feet next to the screw which allows you to push the dial out once the screw has been released.
