Looks like a split stem. Take that out and the movement should come out easily

thats sounds legit, but how does a split stem work, is it simply a matter of force ?

The style of case construction definitely looks like the movement goes out the front.   A clue that the movement comes out the front is if you turn the case with movement upside down if the movement seems like it's loose in the case that would be an indication that it will fall out once the stem is out of the way.

Split stems are interesting 90 some percent of the time you just need to pull hard on the crown. The split stem will then split apart the movement will fall out everything works nice but tiny percentage of the time that's not the way it works. There are some split stems and if you do a search we've had a discussion about this before. Some of the split stems don't split apart by pulling they have to slide apart. Usually on those type you can see the stem the dial is made in such a way that you can see the stem to get it lined up to slide apart. Otherwise you turn the movement upside down slowly rotate the crown if you're lucky it just slides apart the movement falls out. Otherwise they make special tools for pulling the crown out or tweezers between the case of the crown is give you some leverage.

It went very well
There was a part of the electronic circuit that was defective, the readings were bad according to the service manual
Fortunately i had a tissot tissonic with the same movement cal 9162 where it was the other part of the circuit that have failed, so i simply mixed the parts,took some new readings, and all were good to go, oiled and reassembled the piece, and with some gentle taps it sprung into timekeeping again , humming strong ,and with remarkable precision,under 1/2 sec per 24 hours too fast.
Many thanks for the help from you all
Il post some pics soon

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Geotex · Posted

      Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.

      So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray
