thecodedawg Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I have a Louvic Mystery Dial and I am finding it a mystery... or a puzzle. How do I remove the movement from the case? It does not come out dial side because of a metal ledge. It refuses to come out watchmaker side. It rotates greeley, but does not seem to fall out. Any advice?

oldhippy Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I would say it comes out from the front. Have you tried to push it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecodedawg Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 The face prevents it from coming out the front. As I described, the face is under a ledge of metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhippy Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 One way or the other it has to come out. Have you tried to remove either of the rings around the movement. I still say it comes out from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is called a bezel, and it needs to be removed, usually with a blade first, then a case knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gave me the solution in this statement. I will have thick skin here. It has a very thin bezel that required a razor blade to remove. Hey, I am an amature and new to this. But I am also a late 40's software engineer and mathematician in a state where the nearest horology school is 1000 miles away. That means that I am new to the jargon and proper expression terms of this field. But I did do proper diligence before asking my question. I researched the watch with no results. This is my first time dealing with this kind of case. I assumed the very thin line on the top was purely decorative. Lesson learned. I apologize of my other response seemed trite and impatient. Your continued support means everything to me and I appreciate it. Edited January 13, 2021 by thecodedawg Less emotional response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldhippy Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Well done that's the ticket. Always good to ask if you are not sure. On here we all like to help. Well done everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your continued support means everything to me and I appreciate it. You are welcome. BTW in many occasions in my life I missed noticing something that later on turned to be obvious. And nobody is expected to know or use proper terminology all the time. Getting to a positive result while enjoying what we do is all we try to facilitate here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOwatch Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 many eyes make for transparent problems. I think most of the times I've posted here it turns out to be something simple I've overlooked, or the answer was (would have been) easy to find one I knew the proper terminology. When I don't have my own questions I come on here just to find problems to answer so I can feel clever, or get some more experience in the process. I thought that was a "Mark Lovick" brand mystery dial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
