You're a life saver. I took my pocket watch to three jewelry stores at the mall, and not single "watch" repairman had a clue on how to remove the movement. One guy at one of those jewelry stores is just a battery changer. I came home frustrated, found your video and walla. Thanks again! I really appreciate it.

Excellent explanation of de-casing a pocket watch. Perfect video showing the steps used. Good job !
This is great! I have an old Elgin watch and the case was a Keystone like yours, but i was not sure how to get it all together safely.

Always a thumbs up from me! Always learning from you, thank you Pete!
You will do damage with a screw driver use a dedicated watch knife
How do I remove a crystal when there isn't a place to pry
Best! Thank you!
This was very helpful thank you
Are you showing people to push the case past the latch to snap it closed? I thought if you didn't first depress the crown you could damage the case.
This is helpful! Thanks!
Nice video
How are you sir, my closing clip edge has rounded and now the lid won’t stay closed, is this an expensive repair?. FYI lid edge has no wear
What sizes are these full and half round screws
Hi Peter, my stem or post broke off. Any idea how I can get it out of the case and crown?
Dust covers are not exclusive to hunter cased watches, many other watches have them also.
How do i open my pocket watch up that does not have a bezel in the front to open?
