If it's anything like latest Fiddys, the movement and dial will have to come out thru the front. You'll have to remove bezel first, I'm afraid.

cheers,

Don't listen to Novesh he does not know what he's talking bout.... :lol: :lol:

Here's how an expert does it:

first, you smash the watch by its straps.

If it still does not come out, try boiling it in hot water first. They do this to make metal expand.

Still no go?

finally for the last resort you use the Novesh-style hammer :lol: :lol:
