·Hello:
I recently purchased this watch and watch is not running!. It is about 30mm case. I tried to open the case to get some info about the movement or case ref. Then, I realized it is probably not a snap back case. Upon looking closely the crown tube is actually intergral part of the case back and there is a metal ring under the crystal. I wonder if it is part of case or an armored crystal. The bezel seems not removable too (I am not sure about this but I don't see any gap there too)
My question now is if someone has seen this case or identify case ref and give directions for opening the case. It appears there are two possibilities: 1. Top loader and split stem system or 2. pulling the crown tube outward using some tool might eject the case back (sure it fees weird to open like this).
I will really appreciate any feedback...
