Hi guys, I’m looking for ideas about removing the dial from this Armani watch, it won’t come out from the back as there’s a shoulder inside the watch case stopping it, I’m looking to remove it from the front side! I’ve removed the outside beveled gold ring & I still can’t see any way of removing the glass? Is the glass retaining ring press on or screwed down, there looks like there’s a chapter ring under the glass to! I’m open for ideas guys! Cheers

Can you post a picture of the movement and case ? If the movement and dial came out from the front (a front loader watch) then the glass should have been acrylic crystal as those can be removed with a special claw tool.

I'm assuming that this is mineral glass or sapphire so I think it comes out from the back...

It’s deffo a flat mineral glass with a small bevel on the edge!

It’s a Ronda 1069 two jewel movement!

Sometimes -- though I'm not totally convinced now is one of those times -- it is necessary to remove the winder, replace the case back and compress air in through the case tube where the winder was, the internal pressure of air then pushes the glass out, which sometimes can be kind of violent at times. Usually, a large syringe (minus the needle) is used for this, there are other means though.

Just to get this straight. If you remove the crown, are you not able to remove the movement and dial through the back ?


Hi there, no mate, if I take the crown out the watch the dial will still not come out! I can take the movement off the watch dial, there’s a shoulder inside the watch case which is stopping me from removing the dial, the watch dial is larger, that why I’m thinking it been put in from the front!

      Long Case winding

      By dnhb · Posted

      At a friend's request, I've obtained a key for her long case clock which has been silent for some years. On winding it, the weight only rises a foot or so from the floor - & is not visible above the lower panelled section - before the key meets significant resistance. However it then runs quite happily for a day or so by which time the weight is again on the floor. I haven't had the chance to examine the movement but would be grateful for suggestions as to what might be happening here.

      Which Watch Have You Got Coming In The Mail ? Show Us !!!

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Despite having to change up your magnification and get your head into the super micro mech zone, I admit I'm not adverse to buying women's watches. You can finish up working on some good high end movements for a fraction of the price of men's. They also finish off that little black dress number and heels look on Saturday night outs. I would laugh but i have had some very odd Saturday nights out , ok go on then I'll laugh, i just made that up....ahem...😅

      These are some from a couple of job lot ebay batches totalling 40+ watches I got a few weeks ago, ~£2 or less each. I'd only looked at a couple of specifically interested ones so far, as I already had others of interest to look at I've just gone through some of the smallest ladies ones. I was expecting them to be mostly cheap quartz, but only one of them was - the others are all look like good quality mechanical ones! There are also a good selection of other types, including a couple of nice looking old Casios - and some blingy things..

      Its a nice classy watch Rich, the only problem i have with it.......if you know me well enough then you know what that is. I've already forgiven you for it though 🙂.

      My Omega Seamaster aqua terra.  It's just me, very understated but classy ( not that I'm classy). I don't like dive watches, the bezel puts me off or any kind of bling. I prefer indices to numbers. I don't have any other luxuries, not into clothes, seldom go for expensive meals etc. So it's my little treat to myself.  Not my watch but exactly the same, just got home and taken it off.
