[docdoc]

Hello,

I need some help ! I am trying to unscrew the 2 screws that hold the movement holder in place on my seamaster 300 but the screws are a little bit under the case. Anyone knows how to this ? I have tried to unscrew them but they are blocked at a point with the step of the case. Any would help would be much appreciate

You screw them down(tighten) and rotate the movement to the stem opening to remove.

You don't screw these out to remove the movement, you screw them in...

They are screwed out to tension against the case and hold it securly in place, they are screwed in to release the tension.

To remove:

Tighten (Righty tighty) the screws down fully, then rotate the complete ring until one of the screws lines up with the notch where the stem is located, turn upside down, movement falls out.

Damn, you beat me to it again.....
