Less than one turn. You might start with one turn, or one and a half. But if that doesn't release it, I would go half a turn from there.

Thank´s Dan for pointing that out 😀

And: press the screw in. all the time during unscrewing. Wriggle a bit as well. These old mvmts. can be stubborn...... kind regards. Achim

Is this a three piece case? If so maybe you have to remove the bezel/glas assembly and take the movement out from the front side.

Ooooh oooh. Not sure if this is a three piece case. How would I know? I don't think that there is a bezel so It may be not. You see any bezel? Thanks.

Thanks a million for this.

The crystal is attached to the bezel and be removed as a whole unit. Be extremely careful with your knife or it goes too far and hit the dial.

So:
1.Crown Stem assembly out
2.Movement screws out
3. Pry the bezel crystal assembly out very carefully
4. Entire movement with dial and hands out from the top.

Thanks again. So used to Seiko.
