Look closely near the stem and you may see a little dot on a part or an arrow pointing at something to press down which will release the stem.

You may need to put the stem in the setting position for it to be visible.

I tried many times using the eye loop but was unable to see any dot or arrow!!

Remove the ring around the movement so you may see the watch.:lol:

Seriously,   I got a suspecious feeling you just might find a lever or something on the side near the stem. If nothing found, I unscrew the crown and slide the movement out.

No need to apologize, and thank for the advice!
Will remove the plastic ring and see if I can find a lever
But didn’t get what you mean by unscrewing the crown and remove the movement!

Just grab the stem with  long- nose pliers and unscrew the crown off of the stem. This is prefered approach if you really don,t need to remove the stem and just want to get the movement out.

Thanks I’ll do that and see

Hi    This might be of some use   ronda tech sheet,  as I recall you pull out the stem to set position 

       and you see a small lever poking out press this down and remove stem.

I pulled the crown but couldn’t see the stem.
I think it’s better to take the watch to a Jeweller to avoid damaging the movement
Thank you all for the help

Hi what is the calibre number of the move ment  it might help in finding out the correct sequence for the next time

I think it’s Ronda 375 if lm not wrong

Hi   Is this the full picture of your movement ?  If so its obsolete and no longer on the ronda data base

there are still examples to be got on the bay and a few suppliers.

Sorry,  I know this is way to late but it might be useful for future reference for someone else. 

In almost all of the pictures above the release pin is clearly visible but I've attached a photo of one of my own watches with a circle around it. 

Be sure the stem is not pulled out into gear (hands or date) push the release pin gently down with anything small enough to fit the hole while holding the crown, you can feel the release point, and pull it out.

When reinserting, be sure to push the release pin as well, I'm not sure if there are other stems out there, but mine isn't tapered so you can't just push it in on its own

    • interesting video nice to see the machine what it can do now I wonder what it costs and I'm sure it's not in my budget. Plus the video brought up questions but the website below answers the questions? What was bothering me was the size of his machine 4 mm because I thought it was bigger than that? But then it occurred to me that maybe they had variations it looks like four, seven and 10. With the seven and 10 being the best because way more tool positions in way more rotating tools. Although I bet you all the rotating tools are probably separate cost https://www.tornos.com/en/content/swissnano   Then as we been talking about Sherline. Just so that everyone's aware of this they have another division their industrial division where you can buy bits and pieces. I have a link below that shows that just in case you don't want to have the entire machine you just need bits and pieces. https://www.sherline.com/product-category/industrial-products-division/   Let's see what we can do with the concept I explained up above and bits and pieces. For one thing you can make a really tiny gear very tiny like perhaps you're going to make a watch. Then another version the center part is not separate it is all machined from one piece. Then fills gear cutting machines have gone through multiple of evolutions. A lot of it based on what he wanted to make like he was going to make a watch unfortunately eyesight issues have prevented that. Another reason why you should start projects like this much sooner when your eyesight is really good or perhaps start on watches first and then move the clocks then local we have from the industrial division? Looks like two separate motors and heads. Then it's hard to see but this entire thing is built on top of a much larger milling machine as a larger milling machine gave a very solid platform to build everything.   Then like everything else that had multiple generations are versions the indexing went through of course variations like above is one version and the one below was the last version. Now the version below I mentioned that previously and somewhere in the beginning to discussion and somebody else had one in their picture. As it is a really nice precision indexing. Then I wasn't sure if I had a the watch photos here is his unfinished watch. No he wasn't going to make a simple watch like none of his clocks were simply either what would be the challenge and that.    
    • Use a Portwest Howie lab coat. They are the biological type so they have tapped cuffs so you don't end up getting the loose cuffs of normal lab coats catching everything. 
    • Some of the Chinese tools ae great and can be purchased at a fraction of the price of Swiss ones, some are complete garbage and some I'm convinced are coming out the same factory as the branded ones.
    • I found this string about this problem. I've not gone through it all, but I believe it also mentions making a spring. If not in this string, the info is online.
    • No, I now realise it’s broken😥 ive looked for one online, but v. Expensive! im going to service as is, in the hope that  one turns up. Thank  you.
