Some batt swaps are much worse than others.  

 

To change the batt on my old 'front loader' Ebel:

1...Remove five little bitty 18K (soft!) screws holding the bezel on the case.

2...Remove the bezel/crystal in one piece, keeping track of O ring gasket between bez/case.

3...Remove the minute hand, there is no SS hand.  Removing the H hand is optional.

Q...Optional?

A...The H wheel and H hand will come off with the dial if you leave the H hand on.

4...Remove the dial.

5...Push the detent button on the TOP side of the movement and remove the stem/crown.

6...Remove the mvt, turn it over, change the batt.

7...Assemble in reverse order.

When all original, the local 'Authorized AD' wanted $140USD.  Plus tax.

Post is 15 down from top.  The batt change procedure was basically the same before the original movement was swapped out.
