Introducing myself!

[alvaropinto]

Hello everyone,

my name is Álvaro and I'm from Portugal. Professional musician, I'm also a watch collector and watchmaking enthusiast being that my father is a retired watchmaker (old school ie., no parts? Make it yourself!). At the moment I'm gravitating around the Seiko brand and it's most common and less expensive vintage calibers/models. Like this one, 2107-0120 small size model. A bit frustrating as I can't manage to get it out of the case. Or I'm doing it wrong or the movement holder ring is really stuck!! Help is much apreciated!

Cheers!

Welcome to WRT forum.

 I can't tell if there is a rubber O-ring there, I pull out the stem to set position, press on set lever button and remove the stem, insert a driver in the hole stem was in, pry the retainer plate/ ring out.

Hi Nucejoe,

tanks for the reply. Yes, there is a rubber ring. Inserting the screw-drive is just a way to keep the movement in place right?

 That rubber ring has to come out, thats whats keeping the retainer plate so tight in place, it migh come out in pieces, take a soldering gun to it if needed. needs to be replaced with new one anyway. with stem out , just stick a screw driver into hole of the retainer plate  pry it off against the case

Good luck.
