    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.

    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.
