Looking for some help, need to remove movement from case. Do I need to remove the bezel to take the movement out from the front?

Unscreew that small(est) screew that you have on first photo nearest to crown.

Unsreew let say 2 rounds and while pulling steam out you need to push a little that screew. You have to do this together (pulling steam and pushing screew together). Dont be too strong.......

 

Good how-to video

You may know this, but you'll also have to remove the case clamp (arrow points to it). It appears that the clamp on the other side is missing.

 

Yup, got that so took the movement apart while still in the case. But main plate still won't slide out, my question was, do I need to remove the bezel and take out from the the front? Crystal does not come off with claw so only option left is to remove bezel. Thanks for help

 

I am sorry that I did not check pictures better befor I replied.
Yes, bezel goes down and you need to take it off to get movement out. Sharp blade and bezel will pop out easy. (usualy there is a small slot in bezel to do that). I see slot on last picture in first post. It should be at 9oclock....

 

Like omegasaso12 said, just remove the bezel, then push the movement up.

 

Thanks, yeah just got it off, looked at it closer with 10X loupe and saw the little gap. After cleaning and putting back together, looks like balance staff is bad and center wheel pinion is broken and will need new cannon pinion.

 

If those parts are actually broken, it should be easy to see. Concerning the balance, of course the pivot could be broken - I cannot tell from what you said - but you have also (or instead) a not flat hairspring.

 

Impressive job on cleaning the regulator and moveable stud holder but, you seem to have introduced some faults.,

Firstly, you have fibres all over the cock which is not good. You also seem to have the regulator hard up against the stud carrier which it shouldn't be. I may be wrong but it looks like you've moved the regulator boot upwards and now the spring is caught on that? Might explain why the spring is no longer flat.

Also the spring concentricity was fine before you opened it up and now it isn't.

Possibly time to take it apart again and review your work? Or pass it on to someone with more experience? Good luck either way.

Hope this helps, Chris
