I just got this today and I need to open it up........ before I end up messing it up........ does it open from the back or the front?
The Dial has shifted and I need to get to the movement but I dont see anyplace where to pop off the back!
TIA

Looks interesting, whats the front look like ?

Sorry i have never had one of those so don't know about opening.

It's a Vintage Citizen 21 jewel quartz Alarm date.
The dial and hands are in primo shape and the case is also in excellent condition but as you can see from my pic (hopefully) the dial is turned and I need to open the thing up to set it right or to see what the problem is and then correct it.

Rene, Sweephand would know, as he is the Citizen Man.....you can go to Randall's Seikoholics site and ask him....

It opens from the back.

OK......back is off! (It was tight) So now how do I remove the movement? I see no button or pins to push!?

There looks to be a slotted pin either side of the stems ?.

I like the dial and hands on that, very nice.
