Timex Electric 1962 m67 movement: dial removal

[MartinM]

Hello all, I am disassembling and attempting to repair a Timex Electric from circa 1962 with a 67 movement.  I cannot understand how to remove the dial from the movement.  I have the crystal out, movement out, hands off but I cannot find the mechanism to remove the dial.  Can someone help me out?

 

Thank you very much,

Martin

Who would have thought!?

Timex got into the "electric wars" by purchasing Laco of West Germany.  So the watch is really a Laco design and why it is much more like a traditional footed dial and not the tabs Timex is know for.

Thank you JerseyMo that is what I needed to know.  I can see them now in the service manual as parts 5751.  One is accessible and the other is buried.  I was confused as dial feet are usually fixed by screws at the edge plate in my experience.  Cheers!
