How do you remove dial from 2824-2?

[RickFlorida]

I have this 2824-2 with a marathon dial.   I want to remove the dial so I can use the movement for a Tudor project.

I don't understand how to remove the dial.  I heard some 2824-2's use a hinge system as opposed to screws.  Can anyone please tell from the photos which this is using and how do I remove the dial?   I want to check before I attempt so I don't damage anything.

Thank you

Thank you!

First remove the rotor: never take a movement out from the case with the rotor on...

Then to remove the dial you have to release the 2 hooks that keep the dial feet there:

I normally use a 1.2mm screwdriver.

Ahhh.  Thanks.  Why is it bad to not remove the rotor first?

Because the movement become slippery with that part on, much easier to fall, and also you can't operate on it well if that part is still on. In the end it is just a screw...
