Hi guys,

I tried to find how to do it on the forum but didn't manage to...Hope my keywords were ok.

I have 1 x 372 KW and 1 x 448 KW both with P3000 V3/4 movt.

372 has a big dust on the dial that I want to remove
448 ditto

Could you please show me how to remove them?
I think about:

- unscrewing the caseback
- unscrewing the movt from the case (don't know which screws to unscrew)
- Then accessing to the dial.

Do you confirm?
Do you have shots showing the screws to unscrew?

Thx in advance.

Here is a shot of my caseback. Do I need to unscrew the 3 screws surrounded in red?
Link to RWG talking about this doesn't work :(

Looks like a super clone version. Try doing it from bezel topside with a bezel removal tool. :)

I think [MENTION=69808]rolexwatchfan[/MENTION] should be able to help you as he reviewed the movement and did a pretty good job at disassembling it.

Yes those are the movement tabs... Here's the thing. If you don't know where the movement tabs are, or don't understand what to look for, then you probably should not be messing with this watch.

The crown guard has to come off, the crown has to be removed. The tabs have to be removed. There are two sets of movement tabs underneath the screws, you will need good tweezers, and magnification to get them back in. It's a learning experience for sure. But make sure you have some decent tools first.

Thx for your replies guys!
The problem is that RWG doesn't work :( There are issues since yesterday so I cannot follow the link... [MENTION=69808]rolexwatchfan[/MENTION]: Don't you have a pdf or offline version of your in depth review?

No, unfortunately web only. I know for a fact that this breakedown was posted here as well but I think before the RWI crash. I can't seem to find it. Maybe Admin could help with this?
