Removing A 10BC Movement

Submitted by spiro13 on February 5, 2012 - 8:53pm

 Hi

Can someone tell me if the movement comes out through the front? It looks like someone was prying at the ring but it seems pretty solid.

Thanks

Tony

Tony,

This movement comes out through the front, the crystal & ring will pop off and you will have to remove the stem in order to get it out.

Sorry Ticker, but I tend to disagree here. I think the movement ring comes out from the back 1st, remove the stem and the movement will come out the back as well. Been there, done that, and my Son still wears the same watch today.

The movement ring may be siezed up by dirt or even rust but it should come free with gentle pressure. I may be wrong here bit if I recall correctly, mine came out the back end.

You Guys are right, My Bad!

I had it confused with a "Military Style" I have...

At least I got the remove the stem part right...: D

try using a wd40 pen around the ring and letting it set over night.
