    • Hello,
      First you remove the crown. There should be an access hole in the back of the plastic casing. It may be plugged with a small plastic plug, remove the plug. Undo the small screw inside just a small amount until you can pull the crown out (do not remove the screw!). Then using a crystal lift tool, you will need to take off the crystal and the movement will come out of the front of the plastic case.

      Hope that helps.
