    Question How to remove this movement from the case? (ETA 251.262)

    One of my watches has a slight smudge on one of the hands.. and I am trying to get to it in order to clean it.

    The watch in question is a Kirium quartz and I have managed to remove the stem from the movement. Now, the problem is.. how do I remove the movement from the case?

    Typically, in another similar model, I would twist the movement anti-clockwise until it releases off the notches on the case. However, there aren't any notches on this one.

    Here's a photo of the movement before I removed the stem and battery. Any idea on how to proceed?

    Thanks zeFiF. Appreciate it. :)

    Got it opened and fixed the smudge. Making sure it's totally dust free when putting it back together was a real pain though.
