Disassembling Kelton / Timex automatic

[BlueHarp]

Hello,
I have just bought an old Kelton automatic and I can't see how to remove the movement. I have pushed away the 4 spurs, but I don't know what to do afterward. Would anyone have an idea?

It looks like it comes out of the front.

The tabs that you have released are what hold the dial on to the movement, however you need to remove the seconds hand as well before that can happen.

You need to remove the autowind module by undoing the two screws that you an see through the holes in the rotor, then remove the crystal and everything will come out the front.

Ok, thank you. I'm not sure I will try because it looks quite complicated, especially removing the crystal.

Thanks again

yes, you must first lift the crystal.  but why are you wanting to remove the movement?

BTW - that is a M109 from 1978.

Because it didn't work. Unfortunately, I had to give up. This kind of watch is not made to be disassembled. I've since got other watches. I'm know trying to repair a FEF 290 movement

too bad you gave up on it.  But, I understand that vintage Timex presents a different approach to repairs.  If I had to guess what was wrong with it I'd say the click spring was worn down.  Without having a NOS supply the replacement is very difficult.
