      How do I get to or open the casing to see the movement
    3. gearpunk gearpunk, 13 years ago
      It should unscrew

      Sorry to hear that.They can be tricky especially if you don't have the right tool.most of the time you don't need it to unscrew.

      What you have is a hunter case watch. Here's a link on how to open it. It doesn't unscrew...

      Over being mad sent it back to the watch repair and left instructions to write down the movement number , Hopefully I'll have answers in a few weeks Thanks for the advice and links.
      The crystal does not screw off , it lifted off the base
