HELP! Can't get the movement of Timex M25 Vintage

[Reaz]

Hello everyone!

I have this Timex vintage automatic with M25 or something similar movement. It seems it is supported by metals at the bottom. How can I get it off?

Looks like it must be a front loader.

Can you remove the lens.

How can I do that? I tried but it's really fixed.

What are you going to be doing with it once it's out of the case?

You're going to need a crystal lift tool (12-16 brass claw clamp driven by a screw). Even if someone glued in the crystal (incorrectly), the crystal lift will be able to grasp it and flex it inward to pull it out.

The original crystals were never glued, and this one is almost certainly original.

The watch doesn't wind. I wanted to open and see what's going on. 

I have ordered the crystal lift... let's see what happens.

Thanks everyone!
