    Removing the movement

    I would like relume the hands of two of my watches and for this I need to remove the movements. From what I understand the first step is removing the crowns.
    Could somebody please tell me how should I proceed with this two movements?

    Be VERY CAREFUL with the gilt/gold rotor Eta movement, the keyless works is tricky for a beginner.

    Is the top movement a Miyota or Seiko etc?

    No offence - but if your not sure how to remove the movement I think you’ll struggle with luming a set of hands - you’ll need to remove and refit them and a half decient lume is tricky

    Yes, but everybody has to start from somewhere.
    In my case the Ricoh is a £15 watch, so not a drama if it won't end up perfect.
