I have a Glycine with a 2783 movement, but the case is very worn with the chromium plating coming off. At the same time I have a compressor case to suit a 2783 movement so I would like to swap the dial and movement from the Glycine into the compressor case.

The challenge at the moment is that I am unsure how to remove the crown and stem from the 2783, and Google doesn't seem to offer much help. I was hoping someone here on TZ might be able to offer advice?

Alternatively I guess I could just send both watches off, as although it keeps remarkably good time the Glycine could doubtless do with a service and the date doesn't change at midnight, only manually via the first crown stop.

My hope is that, between the two movements, it might be possible to salvage at least one working watch!
