Removing the movement from the case

To remove the movement from the case you will first need to remove the bezel then remove any case screws or clamps.  Then let the movement come out into your hand.  For some watches, particularly pocket watches  the movement comes out the dial side. For watches with one piece cases the movement comes out the dial side also.
