Oris 2895-2

[Jeremy]

Hi my name is Jeremy. I'm new to this please bare with me. Was wondering if any one could help me? I'm trying to take the movement out of an oris 2895-2. Here are some pics.

Undo the 2 movement retaining tabs (one at 12 o'clock in your first picture,  the other diametrically opposite it under the rotor ) and it should come out the front.

[Jeremy]

Thank you for your reply. I did that already and the movement would just rotate around in circle but not come out.  I watched your video on the Rolex and they had little grooves that when you twisted it around the movement would drop out . There is no grooves on this one. The front of the watch is sapphire crystal. How would I take off the crystal?

Thank you again for helping me, Jeremy.

Here are some more photos.

Looks like a removable bezel to me try a razor blade along the joint to  start it off then a sharp case knife.

I hadn't realised that the bezel was still in situ.

As CAD101 suggests try working a (single edged) razor blade in between the case and the bezel where I have indicated below until it is wide enough for a case knife, then using a case knife just pop the bezel off. With the movement clamps removed as I suggested earlier the movement should just come out the front.
