Some time ago i removed the movement of my Citizen Pilot AS2031-57E, movement / case H461-T005527 for a control of the o-ring of the buttons and the crown. 
Unfortunately, by forcing the hands have come off due to the pins of the two side buttons that prevent easy disassembly. 
Now i have put the hands back on the dial and i am faced with the dilemma of how to insert the movement inside the case again
Because of the two pins of the two buttons A and B at 2 and 4 o'clock, it would seem physically impossible. 
I wonder if to do this it is necessary to disassemble the crystal and insert the movement from the front. 
Is that really the case? Or is there any way to do it?

 

look at the video:

can not see watch to know for sure but sometimes you can tilt the movement and insert with the dial under the pushers first and the rest should follow, this is without the movement spacer/ring on, that would be installed last....hope this helps

    • Yes: that's it exactly, right down to the break in the spring!!
    • I've bought brands like Citizen, Seiko, Titoni, Tissot, Roamer. Strange thing is many of them were using ST96 movements. I'm not sure if the ST96 is original to that model or whether it was a replacement movement.  All the watches with nice looking dials were obviously refurbished, after-market dials. And all of them had over-polished watchcases. Some of them had non-original hairsprings, rejewelled pallet forks, watch crystals that don't fit and glued in with a generous amount of glue. One of them was totally not working because the pallet jewel was loose to the point that it almost fell off. But the sellers were very nice. The seller of the non-working watch gave me a complete refund. Some of them gave partial refunds. I would say don't by luxury watches on the internet, regardless of the country the seller is from. Don't believe the "serviced by master watchmaker" statement. Have realistic expectations. ( Do expect the occasional complete junk.) Do expect to do a complete overhaul and major repairs. Otherwise, watches from Mumbai are great. For clocks.... I'm not so sure.
    • In 2020,I picked up an Orient Mako II online. It ran at +15 seconds per day and after 3 years of resets more than weekly, it was time to crack the seal and take a shot at regulating it. Not having a timegrapher, I used a spreadsheet to track the time, referenced the Canadian NRC website, wore the watch between adjustments, and used the back end of some tweezers to lightly tap the regulator daily until it ran to within one second per day.   Two months later, it’s still running to within 1 second per day when measured over a week or longer, while daily variations are up to 9 seconds per day. For my purposes, its overall stability is surprisingly good. Is this method of adjustment “better” than adjusting to 5 positions using a timegrapher, since during the adjustment period the watch is already in the environment in which it’ll be used?

    • Nice file  Just got old pocket watch in and tools,  can I get it back together or should I give up.  we'll see  thanks for the info
    • @HectorLooi Yes, I would say that Mumbai has the highest liquidity in terms used watches. How was your experience with these used watches and what watch brands did you buy used? I have always found the vintage luxury watch segment in India a bit shady. Quite a few are genuine watches with genuine matching parts but just not from the same one.
