Pretty ease, provided that you have the right caseback opening wrench... I have tried with a generic JAXA style wrench, but it is too small... I ended up using an open-end adjustable wrench to "grasp" onto two opposing flat surfaces on the perimeter of the caseback (hope this makes sense), it worked, but also left a small scratch... once removed, the stem release needs to be engaged so that the crown can be removed. Once that is done, the movemetn basically pops out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 How is stem release engaged? just unscrewing the crown? chad Pretty ease, provided that you have the right caseback opening wrench...

ubiquitous Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Easy? Absolutely... Step 1- Unthread the caseback using a Jaxa type wrench, or similar tool Step 2- Unthread crown from tube; engage the crown to the time setting position. At this point, undo the small stem screw to release the stem. ***Please note- The stem should be in the time setting position prior to releasing the stem to prevent the clutch from falling. Step 3- Unthread the screws holding the case clamps on. At this point, the movement/dial/hands may be uncased from the caseband. Additionally, Ziggy has a more in-depth write up in his section in the watch repair forum. This brief write up will give you the general idea of what's involved. Best of luck!
