How do I get the dial of from the Tudor Princess Oysterdate watch with the 2671 movement. I looked for screws along the sides of the movement but I don't see any. How do I get the dial off?

 

Here is a couple of pictures of the movement.

These levers hinge out to release the dial feet.

See a demo of me doing this on this quartz movement - it's the same principle:

You should be able to take a pair of tweezers or peg wood and slide this hook outside.  There should also be another hook just like it on the opposite side of the movement.  Just be careful not to damage the mainplate in the process.

 

You can also find the technical document for the ETA 2671 here:

 Just look under mescaline for product range and 2671 for the caliber.

Sorry about that.  The link seemed to be working on my end.  Click on the technical documents tab along the top and then follow the same instructions.  Hopefully that will do it.

Is the Tudor 2671 movement the same as the one in those drawings. 

what is the difference between the Tudor 2671 and the ETA 2671 movement

It should be. You can make out the ETA symbol in your second picture under the balance wheel. It is simply a Tudor branded ETA 2671. But it is a very high grade 2671 and a lovely little movement.

one more thing where can I find a set of original gold coloured hands for this 2671 Tudor movement. Links to sites and what part number would I need? Thanks

You may be hard pressed to find original Tudor hands. You may find a set on eBay. The best thing to do is find the hand size and length and look for a good set online. A picture of the hands you have now would help though.

    • I was thinking it might be nice to see a picture up above or the picture I'm going to paste down below from up above with the escape wheel just setting their. Then it almost looks like the lower jewel is out quite a ways? But maybe it's an optical illusion with the shellac yes the assortment set over time have become something other than what they once were. Like it work with a assortment of Waltham jewels for burnishing in and the last time I tried to find one I discovered there all randomly assorted. Then of course often times the assortments had a tiny quantity of things and the entire container got re-tasked for other things and down the road somebody sells it totally clueless of what they're selling. But in the case of roller jewel's especially after the longer ones of pocket watch size for a single roller then randomly and bottles is definitely good. If you really careful you may bill to place the roller jewel on a flat surface and use calipers although a bench micrometer really is preferred.
    • Have you search for a new winding crown using Tissot case id? You can also find a replacement crown by size / type of the crown you currently have: https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/tissot-crowns-by-size They are dirt cheap.
    • yes the pocketwatch database shows quite a spread in those serial numbers. With the watches typically made in batches and even in a batch from the beginning to the end there be some variations. Then you have approximately a 10 year difference between the two yes some of the stuff will probably not fit especially escapement components as there usually adjusted at the time of manufacturing and of course manufacturing tolerances were improving with time. https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/search/result/elgin/36764469 Grade:    315    Model:    3     Class:    114   Estimated Production Year:    1937  Run Quantity:    4,000     Grade/Model Run:    310 of 329 https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/search/result/elgin/19110954 Grade:    315     Model:    3     Class:    114    Estimated Production Year:    1917   Run Quantity:    2,000     Grade/Model Run:    127 of 329  
    • Hope you let the mainspring completely unwind before removing the bridge? Use not only a screwdriver, but a pair of good tweezers with curved ends. This will allow to move various sides of the bridge straight up while keeping it in parallel with the main plate. If you use a screwdriver only and top pivot is stuck, then a bridge is being lifted under angle and then you hear that "horrible click". Usually it takes only one instance to learn such lesson in life 😅
    • Regarding the spring winders, I made my own and used copper pipe reducers as the tubes to retain the spring. You will need to cut out a section for the end of the spring to protrude but if you watch one of the many videos on this subject that will make sense. You can find a selection of sizes on Ebay for very little cost. I'll attach a pic showing one of mine.  Good luck!
