To remove the movement:

1...remove stem/crown while in the winding position by lightly pushing the detent button (yellow circle)

2...run the two screws (red circle) down against the movement, just barely tight

3...turn the movement inside the case so the screws are at 3 and 9

4...remove the movement

When putting the movement back:

1...put it in the same position as it came out (screws at 3/9)

2...turn the movement inside the case to where the stem will go in

3...install the stem (it sometimes helps to lightly push the detent button and turn the stem a few degrees)

4...screw the crown down a little to align the stem/movement

5...tighten the movement in the case by backing the case screws out

6...make sure the watch winds, sets etc

Do not overtighten the screws.

Tip:

You can remove the winding rotor in a few seconds by pushing the clip (down inside the slot just below the 'R' in TEMPERATURE in the top pic) toward the outside of the movement. This will prevent damage to the rotor axle and jewels when working on the watch upside down.

You can also lightly lube the axle before assembly.

Use a pointed tool of some sort...be careful not to push the tool too deep and scratch the movement.

Make sure the rotor clip is properly seated and the rotor turns freely (and winds) after you get finished.

Last but not least...

Do not use a hammer heavier than 2 pounds.
