Hello.

I am about to work on a citizen vintage watch.

This watch has somewhat strange structure. The movement and dial is integrated to the caseback.

I need to remove the caseback to ind the movement. 

Any advice would be thankful!

You need to remove that caseback. Should be screwed . And then as usual take the stem out . And the dial and movement shall come out to the dial side.

  the case back removeing should be done with a special watch tool.  good luck

Looks like a normal caseback that you can remove with a jaxa or similar tool.

That movement will have a two piece stem. 

Why it should? As mentioned it has a regular screw type case back.

Looking again I think you are right. My first senior moment of the day.:o

      You could try a soft-solder repair on that

      Another 6105 back in action!

      By tIB · Posted

      So I recently picked up a slim 6105 which had a badly damaged dial (posted in another thread). I couldn't really live with that given I had another dial handy, also in not great condition but with added bonus of having a better lume job and actually being fully attached to the dial plate!  So what to do with that damaged dial - I tend to think they should be in watches. Well...  A 6105 mid case and crystal assembly punt arrived from Italy yesterday, which I've frankened back into a working piece with the dial... Damaged dial now sits behind damaged crystal in an original case, currently powered by 6106 (with a 6106 caseback on to reflect this... I've cleaned up the original crystal up to a point, but kept it fairly beaten to distract me from the dial, my markers and it's not very satisfying lume job - it's not awful but it's glossy which I don't like. Also has a 6139 bezel on it for now because that's all I could find - I couldn't live with it naked and don't mind it tbh, though will keep an eye out as ever.  So yes, here you go - another 6105 (almost!) back to life. I'll also keep my eye out for the correct movement and perhaps a better dial in time. Caseback might prove tricky/expensive. I know Frankens aren't to everyone's taste but I do enjoy getting these back into working form. Better a working/worn watch than a sat in parts draws imo. And the good news here is that, thanks to the repro service crown, this is the only one I have I could actually feel safe to swim in!
