Hi we will need clear pictures of the rear of the movement  in order to see which release mechanism it has. They all differ some require pressing a stud, others pressing a small lever only visible when the stem in in the hand set position. so without the pictures we would be guessing.      This is a solar powered watch.  with a capacitor to drive the circuit block.

AS YOU STATED need picture of watch I have it THANKS   REPLY

That small image doesn't help much but the release end of the setting lever should appear with the correct crown position, in the round hole right of the stem, I can faintly see an arrow marking there. For your reference attached the service document.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      Before putting it back in the case I would fit the hands and use a pin vice on the stem to make sure the hands were in line.

      Put the movement in a movement holder and it will be supported as you push down on the setting lever post to release the winding stem. Make sure the post is over the shoulder of the movement holder so what you are pressing down on is supported. As a general rule, hold the movement and not the movement holder. Replace the hands when the movement isn't in the case and support the centre jewel (if it has one) on a hard surface or staking block when replacing the hands to stop the jewel accidentally moving or even coming out. A dedicated movement holder with a central jewel support is even better, but pricey

      It might help us if we knew which watch like model number.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By Zedster · Posted

      Hi, guys I have a bit of a predicament and hopefully, somebody can advise. I'm working on a Roamer MST 521 where the movement is extracted from the crystal side. I'm now at the final hurdle where I need to replace the movement back into its case but I'm not sure of the correct procedure. I still need to fit the hands but that's where the problem lies. If I insert the winding stem to test the hands for correct alignment I will need to turn the movement over to release the stem again it's the spring-loaded type and needs a small bit of force to push down but with the hands fitted, I don't think I can do this on a cushion without causing some damage to the hands and that's the last thing I want to do, this watch has already been a love-hate relationship and I'm so close to boxing this one off which I'm counting as my first major project.  The other option is to case the movement then fit the hands and hope everything is okay. I've already broken the original winding stem but managed to find a replacement, the last one in stock, so I'm a bit reluctant to keep removing it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
