KeNnY 29 Posted September 2, 2011 Hey all, I need help with disassembling this maxi marine diver. It looks like when I want to remove the dial with movement, It has to be done from top Can someone help, who already disassembled this watch? Wiz ? Uwe ? Mike ? Or any other modder ? there is no retainer ring around it, And the dial is bigger then the movement I removed the stem , and the movement holds there really strong, from the back, no screws no rings, it really looks like the first thing was put the dial with movement and then crystal. Thank you for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted September 2, 2011 if memory serves me right, I believe these 2 screws circled hold the dial to the movement...somebody correct me if I'm wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted September 3, 2011 if memory serves me right, I believe these 2 screws circled hold the dial to the movement...somebody correct me if I'm wrong But if I remove the movement, how Will I access the dial, and also put back hands, when I will be unable to remove the dial from the case ?

Ollifl 0 Posted September 3, 2011 Hammer and Cold Chisel Kenny Pull the crown with shaft out, put the case back back on and blow some pressurized air inside the watch, the crystal should pop out, never actually done it myself but I've heard that it works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted September 6, 2011 yes it is, but not possible to remove from back, because the dial is bigger then movement and I am not possible to take it out from back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted September 6, 2011 you sure thats not a retainer ring around it? it doesn't look like its the same finish as the case itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeMcNair 0 Posted September 8, 2011 Ken, that IS a movement holder ring, is just REALLY tight. Smack movement against your palm, or use a tiny pry bar (screwdriver) and it till come out like this.... Please show me a pic of the FRONT to be sure I am correct. Last time I had this issue, bezel, crystal, and crown had to come out, back released, THEN mvmnt came out front, but I don't think that's how the UN is.
