Interesting movement

Try this YouTube video, the way the movement is held in is new to me and what a struggle to remove.

A struggle indeed. I'm not sure that I would want to completely immerse the movement in IPA for 15 hours either, I'd be rather concerned for any shellac used in the movement. I think I would have tried applying acetone by just dripping it locally around the interface between the movement ring and the case.

I agree and I should of called it interesting case. I don't agree with all of his techniques but as said I found it interesting.  Have you worked on a similar case?

if you're in watch repair long enough you'll find all sorts of strange and interesting things.

unfortunately this morning I can't quite remember a very peculiar Seiko I once worked on. I was working in a shop in downtown Seattle and in the early days all the watch stuff was basically around one particular part of the city and the raw so within basically across the street from each other three watch material houses. It made it really easy to get parts when you're doing watch work

psychiatric quite remember the peculiar Seiko watch where the movement went into a plastic ring and I think it was sandwiched between one or two pieces of the metal case. The crown fit on a plastic tube that was part of the ring so basically it's all destroyed disassembly you had to have a brand-new one to put it back together.

so I went downstairs and asked and got one plastic I think was called the gasket even though it was rigid plastic with the tube for the crown. How do curiosity I remember asking and he had a whole bag of them at least 100 of them slim must've been popular at one time. But it does bring up the problem of unusual cases with unusual things that they probably didn't makewhatever this was called forever which means you'd never build a put the watch back together today.
