Hello all,

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious,  but per the videos, I thought there would be a screw in the movement, which I would loosen to remove the stem and crown.

This is an older Elgin, but the only screws I see are for the plates themselves, and the movement. 

Thanks all,

The crown may be integral to the case. In some old pocket watches, the movement is removed from the case from the front, and you just remove the case screws, pull the crown, and the movement pops out.

Spectre is on the right track, the crown stem has a male end and the watch a female end which mate up , remove the screws and the watch bezel and the movement should pop out the front,
