Cannot Remove Eta 955.112 Movement From Hamilton 8102 Case.

[Paperhanger]

Hi, I have a Hamilton quartz watch case # 8102 with a ETA 955.112 movement and I am having trouble getting the movement out so I can clean the case. There is an outer ring that is either brass or gold plated steel and there are two screws near the outer edge opposite each other that I removed thinking they were holding the movement to the outer ring. I have removed the crown and the movement will not budge and I am afraid of breaking it. If you are familiar with this set up could you tell me how to remove it? I believe that outer ring needs to come out but it does not move. Thank you for any help you can give.

Looks like it could be a front loader. Is the bezel removable?

Can you post pics of the front and side on views?

Try to rotate the ring. If it does, it may "unscrew" -- or turn into a position where it can be lifted -- releasing the movement.

I had already considered that it might be a front loader but It has a flat crystal so I thought it had to be like a Longines I have where the crystal needs to be removed to take the movement out but now I see that it looks like the bezel is removable so I will try it and get back to you. (Also I did try rotating the ring thinking it might unscrew).

You can check, if dial is wider than case inner diameter, it's a front loader for sure.

couldn't give you more help just from looking the only picture.

hoping you will do a good job in the operation  ~

It is a front loader and I was able to remove the bezel and the movement came right out. Thank you so much for your help.
