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.

Regards

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

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

      Oh nice. I have a similar wedge style stump for my staking tool, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

      Gamblin Gamsol for cleaning?

      By joelcarvajal · Posted

      Thank you all for the replies!  Very informative! True enough, the Gamsol took some time to evaporate and does leave a residue. So not all naphtha are created equal!  Need to find alternatives then. i was able to try Hexane recommended by Alex and it seems great.  I wonder what the cons are?

      Yeah, I saw that in the tech sheet but I don't see how it can be adequately cleaned with the friction pinion still in place. I've accidentally pulled the arbor right out of the wheel once when I used a presto tool to try and remove it. Mark shows how he does it with the Platax tool. Those are a little too pricey for me so I got one of these from Aliexpress and I just push down on the arbor with the end of my brass tweezers. That usually gets it most of the way out and then I just grab the wheel with one hand the and the friction pinion with the other and gently rotate them until it pops off. Probably not the best way but it's seemed to work for me so far.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By Zedster · Posted

      Thanks, Jon Sounds like a plan. Obviously I'll have the face on so do you think gripping with the holder will create any problems, but I will check in the morning to see how feasible it is but I assume it only needs to be lightly held. As for holding the movement instead of the holder won't be possible in this scenario as one hand will be puling on the stem while the other pushes the spring down. That was my initial concern is how the hell can I do this with only one pair of hands. All the other times I've had to remove the stem hasn't been a problem, apart from the force required to release the stem from the setting lever, but now I need to fit the face and hands its sent me into panic mode. If it had the screw type release things would be a lot simpler but that's life 😀   Another thing I will need to consider is once the dial and hands are fitted and the movement is sitting in the case I will need to turn it over to put the case screws in. I saw a vid on Wristwatch revival where he lightly fitted the crystal and bezel so he could turn it over, is this the only option or is there another method?

      Main spring

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Hi Jon, do You think that relation spring torque - amplitude is linear? I would rather guess that the amplitude should be proportional to the square of the torque. I had once idea to check it, but still haven't.
