themannier Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Hey guys !I wonder how i can remove this A6497 with the decorative plates; if you need to blow the dust off under the glass for example, you can't reach the retaining screws Look at the following photo, credit to TORO, thanks !!!Is there some jewels under the decorative plate ?

unreformed66 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I've not had one of these across my bench yet but are you sure that the movement won't just drop out the back once the stem is removed? I've seen watches in which the movement mounts to a movement ring and then the whole thing drops in and is held in place with pressure from the back once it's screwed on. And besides, if you're not opening the watch it shouldn't get any dust in it anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlf Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) The plates cover the movement holding screws so it's not possible to get the movement out without removing The plates, but they are just stuck on, you have to pull them off carefully .(on mine anyway it's just a regular a6497 ) Alas, you're picture indicates a different movement, I dont know... :lol: Edited November 8, 2015 by Dlf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
