A recent fleabay purchase..

Want to remove the movement. After removing the two case screws and stem, movement is still held tight to the case.

What am I missing here?

TIA

This comes out through the front I think. You will need to remove bezel/crystal.

Thanks!

Here ya' go. An impulsive fleabay purchase. Case and movement look pretty good. Dial probably oil stained so tough to clean. But not too bad in the flesh, so may hang on to it.

Small world:

It was heavy tobacco smoke staining on the dial. I didn't take the hands off when cleaning up the dial, so it may be possible to work on that center area.
