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!

that is a lever set movement [ looks like a 6s ], but like Oldhippy said turn case screws, pull stem up into setting position and push movement out from the opposite side of the stem/crown and it should normally come out....

      In the meantime whilst awaiting a better plan, please drop me a quick hello on my email.

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.
