How To Remove A Watch Face

[Tigertim]

I am new to watch repair as a hobby ,at the moment I am trying to dismantle an Atrexa winding watch but I dont know how to remove the face (where the screws which hold it on are located)

Any help would be much appreciated

The dials are usually held via tiny dial screws around the edge of the movement. Some movements (older ones) have the dial screws on the underside and require a small turn to release the dial feet.

 

Do you have a picture of the movement?

There are two very tiny screws on the sides of the movement which go through at about 10 oclock and 5oclock. Do you reckon these may be the ones ? I unable to post a photo

This is very likely. Don't undo them all the way - you will risk losing them. Unscrew them until you feel the dial getting loose - start with half a turn on each side.

 

I hope this helps.
