How to take apart my Sekonda

[BMW A6]

Can someone inform me kindly how to remove the mechanicals from the watch? Is there a way to remove the dial?

With designs like that quite often the case will just pop open rather than need to be turned (unscrewed). Is there any small indent that would allow this that you can see?

There should be a very small lever somewhere near the stem (the bit from the crown to the mechanism) meets the mechanism to push down which will allow you to pull it out. You should then be able to drop everything out.

To get the face off the hands will need to come off, set the time to 3 o’clock so you know where to put them back. Be careful it is very easy to bend the hands

The dial will then have clips or just be pushed on.

Google dial removal and have a look at some walk throughs or YouTube videos. If you don’t have any, get a set of tools from eBay, £10 should be enough to get a starter set.

The dial protruding out of the watch and thin rod connecting it to central mechanism is preventing it coming out of the casing.
