Hello everyone, I am waiting for a vintage election triple calendar watch to arrive and, even if I don’t have a picture of the movement, doing some research I am fairly sure it will be a FHF 175-3. 
 

I am just an amateur collector but know the basics about some light work on watches, but this will be the first time I handle a movement like this with two crowns. 
 

I know that to remove the stem at 3 o’clock you just loosen the little screw beside, but what about the one at 11 o’clock on this movement? How do you tighten the stem once positioned inside? 
 

I’m not sure how to attach pictures but I’ll try to do so! 
 

Thanks in advance!

Pictured below you have a picture of the movement I believe will be inside (took from online listing) and the actual watch I bought!

I can't find a parts sheet for this movement. The only pic I could find of the back is of a cal 205, which I believe is similar. It doesn't help with how to remove the stem though, unless it's some sort of split stem?

I just took one of these apart this morning! 

The date stem is only held in place by the two screws (yellow arrows) and the plate held down by them. After that it will just come out if maneuvered properly.

But when it's in the case, how do you get to the screws?
