Seamaster 300 weathering

I got myself a 300 and it's too sparkling new for my taste, so I will try to bring some tear&wear to it.

But; When I was to about unscrew the two screws holding the movement I came across a problem.

I can't get the screws out... They are under the case ring. Any ideas??? :black_eye:

Hi Dieter, counter-intuitively, you have to screw them all the way in, the ring will then turn. You can spin it to the position where one screw is where the stem comes through the case, take that screw out then spin it again so the remaining screw is at the same stem-entry position, no need to remove the second screw, the ring can be lifted out and then the movement.

Simple! (but only when you know how :victory: )

Great watch to mod, by the way - I've just popped a pic of mine into the general section, nothing that shows the aging process that well, or results, but a story to tell

Good luck with it - let's see some pics when you're done.
