K63 3020 movement

[CDwatch]

Dear forum members,

I am a newbie at watch repair and I need your assistance to remove the crown/stem from my Roamer Power 8 watch.

It has a K63 3020 quartz movement I believe. I have attached a picture. 

Also a video on YouTube shows the same movement in another watch. 

 

 

Regards,

Look and see if there's a dimple in this hole that moves as you pull the crown out.

Edit

If there's nothing there then it will be the lever just above it that needs pressing.

Can I ask why you're reoming the movement?

I have discovered , that with good lighting and high magnification, one can actually spot where the stem release button is hidden.

I don't know, guess its  in one those holes , usually near the stem .

If OP blindly pushes a tool in THE RIGHT HOLE , he might push on the WRONG  PART  INSIDE  RIGHT HOLE and ruin his watch, he needs to see what he is to push on. 

A must,   is;    High magnification and good lighting.

Thank you for the replies.

I have tried pushing on both those holes to try and release the crown.  Also tried pushing down on the lever, no luck. 

Is the crown just meant to pull out, or do I have to turn it and then pull?  Anyway tried that as well...

The movement needs to be replaced (watch runs slows , even with new batteries) , I was trying to see if I could remove the movement. 

Will try again with high magnification to see if anything moves in those holes when I pull on the crown.

Perhaps the lever must be LIFTED ,   not pushed on.

And can you get a replacement movement?

The thing is that the K63 3010 doesn't have a lever just the hole so this must me the release.

The question is does the crown need to be in or out to release.

Ya, saw this pic after my post, then read  this Swiss ISA  is now made in China, guess supply is likely to be plentiful.

Strange , no one here seem to have worked on these.

Perhaps should ask @nickelsilver.

These were discontinued a while ago so only chance would be NOS.

As Andy has said , more than once i believe, often with quartz watches the crown needs to be pulled, this then positions a stem release lever into view of the hole mentioned that lever has a dimple at the tip to be pressed with a pointy tool. As Joe quite rightly stated good magnification and light is required to see this lever action taking place.

Its easy to bypass pressing the lever if you cant see it and slip your pointy presser down by the side of it causing damage somewhere. How do we know ?..........erm....... just because we know

I had used 10x magnification earlier. Did not see it.  After posting on this forum I switched to 20x...bingo. saw the lever appear. Had to put down quite some force on it to engage. 

Thank you all. 

 

Now to see if I can find a replacement movement.

They're listed as a K63.302 if you're lucky enough to find one.
