Hello,
I own another Doxa, just like this one. Big watch !
The second hand has fallen down, just for some obscure reason in its glass display case !!!! ( " KIDS "......? )
I need to " pop " the front cover. It is not hinged and doesn't show that it should be popped out. So I am left with the idea it needs to be unscrewed but of course it will not move the slightest :-|
Would you know how to tackle that one ?
Thanks as always for any tips or directions :thanks

Without seeing the watch case it is difficult to say, although it is probably a screw on front bezel. I suggest you have a look at this link to see how to open various types of pocket watch cases:

Could also be a snap on bezel. Under magnification look for a notch or ridge. While a pocket knife will work a jeweler's knife is better for getting off the bezel.
