I am a novice for sure and new to this group. Have not been able to remove the movement from the case. The watch is a 6S Hunter Case with Century Watch Co. movement. Movement "binds" in all directions when attempting to remove from case even with stem pulled to setting position. Then I tried to find a set lever screw to remove stem but there does not appear to be one.  There is not a screw on the crown base either. 598088843_Centruywatch1.thumb.jpg.42b9d79a67287eda3583d2dc2ec72d9a.jpg What am I missing?  Here are a couple of photos where I stopped.  Thank you for your consideration!

It should come out from the front. Normally you pull the stem up as if you are setting the hands and with the two case screws pointing away as you show in your photo with a little push it should free its self from the case. You could try a little oil around the stem and see if that helps. Some drop out easy some need a good push.

Thank you for your reply! I will try a little oil at the stem but in my limited experience I have never found one that I could not "push" out until this one and can't seem to find a way to remove the stem. Any thoughts on the stem removal since I can't seem to find a screw anywhere? I will post any results as I move forward. Thank you again!

      Most of the videos I've watched use one of these.  Google it.

      Hey guys, My wife and I started our little company in Borneo back in 03. When covid hit and things got crazy, I stumbled down the horological rabbit hole. I fell HARD. Next thing I know, I'm on this forum, modding, assembling, and restoring old watches. The wife, bless her heart, she put her foot down and said I cannot buy or make any more watches for myself. Well, a horological addict is still a addict and I am no quitter. So I figured, why not make some watches for my employees who have been with us for over a decade, they deserve something special. It sure is not for me. So the planning started early this year, scouring the interwebs for parts that will scratch this itch and make my watchmaking dreams come true. It was a tough slog, looking at all those tempting parts, dials, hands, cases and movements. I think I managed to gather all the parts that I needed and with some waiting, elbow grease and much choice swearing, I think I put together what I want to gift my guys and gals. So here's what is wild. I got about 40 of these things to make by the middle of the year. FORTY. Its like I got a whole watch making factory in my actual factory. Wish me luck folks, I am on a watchmaking mission, and nothing is going to stop me. Except maybe the wife, if she finds out how many watches I'm really making.       Stephen

      Do you need to return the tin / zinc / plexiglass surface to flat once in a while, and how do you do it? I can imagine the surface becoming concave in time, or does that not happen because of the embedded abrasive?

      And in normal me fashion everything is going south. My amplitude after running for a day is around the 220 to 230 mark 2 hours from a full wind. At full wind it's about 250ish. Not ideal. I re-oiled the balance and it didn't do much. I"m gonna double check some things and see if i can get that amplitude up unless people think that's acceptable for a 55 year old watch/balance. If i can't get it up and that's not acceptable i might just put the new balance i got on it but i'd REALLY like to keep the gold balance wheel. THen there's these f'ing things.   How on EARTH do you get them in? I double chekced and it's the exact same dimensions of the one that came with it. I can press that one in with my thumbs. I already broke on eof the two i got trying to get it in with a press. I can't find anything other than they go in easily with a normal crystal press.   I have one more shot to get it right. I've been trying to round over the edges and sand it down a bit to get it in there. Any tips would be greately appreciated.
