Hello,

At the risk of making myself look ridiculous, I come with what I hope is a simple problem! I recently received a set of five old watches from my dad when he learned I'd got interested in maintaining and playing with them - nothing special and no problems with taking them apart and not being able to put them back again! One is a 'Harola' watch which I got intrigued by - I can't find any info at all really on the brand. I wanted to open it up and take the movement apart, but I can't see an obvious 'push' button for the removal of the crown. I've not experienced a different way of removing the crown and wondered if anyone could advise? Picks of the watch and the movement attached.

Many sincere thanks in advance for your time in reading this,

Andrew 'Rockpenguin' King

      Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  Was your great Uncle a clock maker to the Royals or did he work for a company? What was his name?

      I can remember in the army, doing a tactical night march and the officer leading the march had the bright ide of taping his compass (with tritium tipped hands) to the end of the barrel of his rifle so he could get a better bearing in the dark. We ran around in circles for hours until he realized that the compass was reacting to the steel of the rifle barrel. To say he was unpopular was a bit of an understatement.

      I bought a compass to detect magnetism. The magnetic tip reacted to both magenetised and non magnetised basic steel so it became a guessing game as to whether my test subject was either weakly magnetised or dense steel. I've found the best way to detect magnetism is by using the smallest unmagnetised screw and a known piece of unmagnetised steel to test the screw and another piece of known unmagnetised steel to test the first known piece of unmagnetised and another....................... 😂

      Ha ha, reminds me of this: "Don't go puttin' none of that stuff on my sled, Clark. You know that metal plate in my head? I had to have it replaced, cause every time Catherine revved up the microwave I'd pi$$ my pants and forget who I was for a half hour or so. So over at the VA they had to replace it with plastic."
