I think that's a ring holding down the movement. It may be pulled out to disengage and free the movement but you might need to remove the screws mentined before, the 2 on the very edge (maybe at 11 and 5?). The "indentation" on the ring  (12 oclock ?) is to pull it out or so it seems.

 

Once the ring is removed, the opening will be wide enough for the movement + dial to come out.

 

Again, I'm speculating here, proceed with caution.

I'm new and know nothing but ill give it a try. Can you remove the winding mechanism then twist the moment with the transistor area up as there looks to be a space their that it may allow it to slide up? Just watched Mark's video with the Rolex movement and turning it seems the same here.

Just a thought !

I'm still convinced that it comes out the front and that the screws will have to be removed to remove the bezel and crystal. I only hope someone who does know tells you before you damage something.

I'm with Geo on this one. It's quite possible that some of the screws are decorative and that others hold down the bezel. Worth a gentle try, perhaps.

I think Will is on the right line. Its either the screws surrounding the bezel or the two screws @ approx 11 o'clock & 5 o'clock that are holding the movement and spacer. If the watch is rusted it might not be obvious that it is ready to come out when these screws & stem are removed & GENTLE tap might show results.

I believe i had one before for repair and if i have good memory,the bezel was pressed in with a gasket.

The screws were only decorational ones

So try the knife way i believe you will succeed

Hello Emso.  Just had a quick look re emails,  If you click on your name (Top right, near sign in, sign out) amongst the options is my settings and amongst those is notification options to turn email notification On/Off.  Hope this helps.

I have looked at this again & again  and I can not see any reason for the screws other than removing the movement. They seem to have a washer or lip and therefore I conclude that they are for holding something, either the movement or a spacer ring.

I agree with Geo & emso. The only info I have found so far is that Boley quote a bezel gasket for this model, this combined with the movement holding screws strongly suggests a front loader.

Hello all. Back from vacationing at Cape Cod and I have good news. Emso you have a good memory. The movement came throught the front. The screws are only for decoration. See attached pictures. Hopefully I can get it running.post-310-0-04817300-1413654451_thumb.jpgpost-310-0-31710500-1413654473_thumb.jpgpost-310-0-41065000-1413654489_thumb.jpg

Hi All,

   Ok I have been looking at this case several times and it just doesn't make sense. Why would you have a top loader and then have to take the back off to remove the stem? Most top loaders are designed so that there is no back to remove. Anyway I see that it was indeed a top loader but would have confused me as well.

Not uncommon on the various watches I have worked on, both Swiss & Japanese. Mostly due to a large dial on small calibre, but not always so.

    • one little minor problem with your chemistry experiment here which is what exactly is epilam? In other words is it an exact substance with the chemical you specify or is it a term? For instance originally it was steric acid either dissolved in some sort of solvent or it was applied by vaporizing it. Then now it's all kinds of different things the watch companies all have different ideas there's a whole bunch of patents. So is not always an exact substance.   let me snip out a image from the patent that I attached up above. Notice I highlighted something it seems to disagree with your evaluation.  
    • I guess You had to try, as it would be hard to sleep without that try, but, I know the result before the experiment... As I told before, the friction will be so big that the wheel will not turn. The pivots have to be thin and polished - the bigger the number of the wheel (2th, 3gh, 4th...), the thinner the pivot. What You are trying to do is possible, but forming the new thin pivot must be done on lathe. Thus the wheel will get shorter, but can have new pivot without the drilling for normal standard repivoting. Then piece of brass can be soldered under the pivot hole in the bridge and new hole drilled in it to form the new bearing.  Well, this way is not the recommended one, not quite correct, but it is possible to do for the excersize... When I say lathe, lathe may be verry simple, someting like turns, but made of what one has in reach of his hands. If You want to try, I will try to guide
    • yes by all means let's gather up our weapons tar feathers find the nearest tree in case Mark is not agreeable to our terms on our demands and storm his Castle. I don't quite understand what you're trying to do here? In other words you want Mark to somehow guarantee that the group will live on forever no matter what? You want Mark to somehow change his business model of what is trying to do or should we just take the group away from him? oh and is quite possible that Mark never realized that his discussion group would take on a life of its own. That the members of the group would like to continue on forever.  
    • I'm not sentimental, I see it this way.  I inherit something I  don't like, I could sell it, buy something I do like and remember the person with the new item.  For example, I  inherit a watch ( I haven't), I don't like it, I  buy a watch I do like, every time I look at the watch, I think of the person. 
    • A lot of it has to do with a generations attitude.  Have we reached a generation of folk yet that have no sentimental values ie. Just an object to sell . I expect my kids will sell my collection , maybe keep one valued piece. Not being in the game very long, i have no idea when the sale of old watches boomed or if it has even reached its peak yet. If we go back 20 years what were ebay sales like then, expense wise and volume ?
