Hi, I have a Longines 6942 and i need to remove the dial. Can anybody please tell me how to release the dial posts. There doesn't appear to be any screws. There looks like a couple of clips but i don't know how they release.Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you so much for the help HSL..

YW, the 6942 is a nice movement, I enjoy working on them and have a small collection of them and the 6952. With a good cleaning and lubrication you will have a nice piece of a watch there. 
Good thing you didn't try to "wiggle" the dial out, the lever is like a smal knife which cuts it self in a bit in the pin and therefore is much tighter than friction fitted ones. I'we seen my fair share of broken pins on these dials.

Keep up the good work!

Alternatively move each feet a little at a time, since both feet should remain parrelel to each other at all times and stand at right angle on the dial, at 90 degrees.Dial plate can get warpped if feet is bent sideways.

   very good show !     vin

      Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.

      Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?

      Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross
