Hello Gentleman,

Anyone ever work on this watch before?

I've been enjoying this hobby for a while now and have had some decent results.  Am progressing nicely to more and more complicated movements,  but man, for the life of me, I can not figure out how to remove this ETA 7750 from the ring around it. 

I've successfully removed the movement and its holder from its outer carbon fiber case, but cannot remove it further.

I've removed both pushers and the stem and it, frustratingly,  doesn't simply drop out when inverted.  It also doesn't rotate from side to side within the outer movement holder.. it is stuck fast.   I'm a little embarrassed honestly.

  The red arrow points to a line in the movement holder, but it is seemingly one piece and not separable there. I guess they just needed to reduce some outer diameter there.

The ends of the minute and chronograph hand extend over the minute marking ring so would that mean that that minute marking ring is part of the dial attached to the movement? I guess I'm asking where does the dial end?

Any point in the right direction would be most welcome. I've never worked on this movement before and I am chomping at the bit to do so.  It represents the next challenge in my progression. But obviously cant start until I remove it safely and I'm stumped!

I'll check again ,  but i believe it to be one piece.  Although,  I agree the photo makes it look like it's split-table there.  

 

If that is not the removal method, what else could it be?

      Thanks for that Andy, Yes the new bracelet is worth more than the watch itself, Its one I have bought to service and clean-up and on-sell it as a project, look it may sell to someone who has a small wrist, I think I will buy an extender and may-be offer it up with a normal strap as well CJ

      Unknown watch movement logo. Very interesting

      Not always that simple. Typically the only reason we would have any way of identifying a watch is if parts were available at any time and somebody had a parts reference book then they would help you to identify the watches that they have parts or. Unfortunately there are hundreds of thousands of watch movements with no identification and of course typically no parts the classic place were watches would be identified would be under the balance wheel and your pictures don't really show a good view of that. Occasionally I've seen watches marked under one of the plates. They felt very proud of their watch is a very prominent Swiss company and they ask he stamped the bottom of a plate so you have disassembled find it. Then there is the other system the keyless parts make up something called the fingerprint system but you still haven't given us enough information to make use of that. Here's an image showing what a fingerprint system looks like. The PDF is based on the physical book the physical book has sizes of watches these are smaller ladies watches and keyless parts which in the physical book are printed at the actual size of the watch parts. So to identify with the keyless we need in your case diameter measured on the dial side and a good picture of the keyless parts and then you have to hope that this was made within the right time span of the books that have this system on the other hand a lot of times on the dial side they will also put markings. So basically to identify a movement it has to come out of the case and has to be disassembled.

      The strap is a 44Q6JB and hadn't realised how much they'd gone up in price. The used one I've got is very worn but may have other links floating around.

      Thanks Andy, The bracelet is sized very small, around a 14cm wrist. Were would one try to source original links, I guess they wouldn't be cheap if found. The bracelet end links have 4406 B-E stamped on them, is this the Seiko Bracelet code ?? CJ
