Hi

the screws that hold the movement, those that lock the lugs or those that hold the bridges?

most important; why?

Sorry, I missed an obvious. I believe the screw holds the movement.

why are you changing screws that hold the movement? Or do I have that wrong? What is it you are trying to fix, modify, etc?

The watch came from factory missing 3 screws. The QC pictures did not depict this. The TD said that they will order screws from the factory and send it to me.

Ok, I can see it now. getting the caseback off is going to be the hardest part. Pams use a special tool....but you can always use the 'sticky ball' method....I have done it many times. Wad up some duct tape, sticky side out and use the friction of the tape ball to unscrew the caseback. It may take a while. Other than that, the stem will hold the movement in the watch, just insert the screws.

Thank you so much.

Those screws must have curved head like gen.
If you receive flat ones, check your local watch smith for curved.

If you have a trusted watch smith ask him if he can replace those purple rubies with some red.

i really like this watch, enjoy!

The QC pics from the TD didn’t show it?! :confused:

For such an aesthetically appealing movement, quite an omission in both aspects, screws and pics.

Wish you well with it, should be easy enough, and gratifying to sort.
Beautiful piece that 672.

Their thread looks ok. Their head isn't curved - domed.
You can ask for a set of screws like those with curved head, for 6497.
check your local watchsmiths.
