How to remove this kind of A6497 ?

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 :g:

Look at the following photo, credit to TORO, thanks !!!

Is there some jewels under the decorative plate ?

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!

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 )

Thank you very much for that !

That's what i thought, but i was not sure...The plates are just stuck.

I guess it might be pretty easy to do this work ? Right ?
