Hi All,

I have a quartz watch here from emporia Armani and the internal movement is spoilt - I am keen in replacing the internal movement.

After removing the old internal movement, the the dial doesn't come off from the back. It seems like you can only remove from the frontal part of the watch.  

I tried using a Swiss knife to remove the front bezel, but it doesn't seemed to move. 

Any ideas how to remove the front glass? so that I can fix in the new internal movement. 

Appreciate your advice? Thanks. 

Have a great day ahead. 

NT

You need to remove the bezel, lot's of discussions on tools and techniques on here.  I'm puzzled on how you removed the movement without the dial attached.

If the bezel does not separate from the case, you can re-install the case back and force air in through the case tube to pop out the crystal. I have needed to use this method for some Skagen and other "thin" style watches with small case backs. Removing the metal tip of my dust blower and putting the opening of the bulb over the case tube usually gives a sufficient seal, and then give it a quick squeeze. Of course wrap it loosely in a cloth so the glass (or back) doesn't fly away. Usually you leave the movement in place to prevent damage to the dial and hands, just removing the crown and stem to allow air to enter. Dust-Off cans work too (sometimes better), but squeeze the trigger slowly.

      Depending on how much of the screw is left, you may be able to screw it further in and it may fall out of the hole that the dial foot sat in. To do this I rough up the tip of the good screw and screw it in, often the rough surface of the good screw and the rough surface on the broken screw get enough of a bite to transmit the torque into the broken section and force it out the other side. Like I said the size of the broken screw needs to be in your favor, but you never know you may get lucky.... or if you get it moving you may be able to then back it out with a screwdriver taking a bite on the rough surface. worth a try

      I will try this weekend.  I've tried several times with my cell phone and it's just too small and recessed to get a good picture.  I need to get my macro lens and tripod out and then figure out how to get enough light down the hole in the side of the man plate to  actually show the top of the broken screw. I appreciate the effort and will try and get that pic this weekend.

      Hi,   My name is Simeon I am based in Sydney, Australia and have recently got into watch repair / watch making.  I am very much a learner having serviced multiple forgotten watches, some of which were actually successful!   I have a slowly growing collection of watches, mainly old Soviet, a few Japanese and (not pictured) some Raketas, a Poljot Alarm, an Omega Speedmaster Reduced and a vintage (1972) Tissot Seastar.  I like unloved vintage watches, with quirky faces and enjoy bringing them back to life through the simple(!) act of disassembly, clearing and reassembly. I am an Electrical Engineer who also undertook a trade apprenticeship so I am reasonably handy - It's fair to say, I know just enough to get myself in trouble.
