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

p.s: sent from my s****y phone so sorry for typing mistakes

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.

      Thanks again for all the help. I found a number on the movement (715) after much searching. I guess it's the below movement so I will order than and see how I get on. https://www.ronda.ch/en/productfinder/caliber/715

      Hi. Thing to do is measure the battery space.  Diameter.  X depth ..    I have seen it listed as  sr626sw.  377 measure to check then check the dimensions of the 377.

      Hello!  Does anybody have this tool?  This is mine.  If you have one, does it look complete?  How do you use it.  (I have the instruction sheet but it's hard to read!)  thanks!

      @JohnR725 that's very helpful.  I appreciate the time you took to give those instructions and post the pictures.  below is a picture of my staff, which looks identical to the ones you posted.  The approx measurements I got are: .772 on the left part of the staff; .715 on the right side of the hub; the hub is 1.107; and the overall length (minus the broken pivot) is 5.248; which seem to line up with the measurements you posted.  I didn't think to measure the pivot, which I'll do if there's enough of one left on the staff.  Thanks again.

      Incabloc Lyre Spring & Low Earth Orbit

      By DDean · Posted

      Thank you to both of you!  I've been somewhat derailed by this quandary for a couple of days now. I am guessing that the point of the wider tweezers is to support the whole spring at the same time in an effort to prevent it going under tension... I have already discovered the Zen of a clutter free space, and trying to keep my work well away from the edge, however the most terrifying of the flights wasn't so short, I had my work in the middle of the table and nothing else around.  That particular launch was towards me.  I distinctly recall feeling the spring hit my left hand as it escaped.  I only found it by dumb luck, on the floor, between the legs of my chair.  I need to order a pack of replacements just in case.  I think I recall a thread discussing where to find them, and the differences between the clones and the authentic ETA ones, pointing out that they're not interchangeable (the clones being longer IIRC).  Now I just have to find that thread again.  What I haven't mastered is the zen of the search function here.  I'm sure I"ll get that down eventually. So this is similar to, but different from one of the posts I had found in my original searches (or maybe I'm just hallucinating, I can't find the post I thought I remember).  The bits about the corner filled in a gap in what I'd read before.  At least I have a more clear picture in my head about what needs to happen now.  Yes, I've learned about how touchy these springs are.  What I'm not sure I have a good grasp on is the understanding of what causes the spring to flex, other than to say "the slightest little touch"  I think I'm going to try a small bit of Rodico to position the spring next time.
