I had to order a main spring and a ‘day-date corrector wheel rocking lever’ as the latter was broken. Also some more storage boxes for watch parts.
Time to take the movement out of the case. The dial has some marking around the edges. I’ll keep the dial, think it part of the watch’s history.
Removing dial and day wheel. Note that the day wheel has 2 languages, English and Japanese, so you can choose witch to use.



To remove the date wheel some plates must be removed first. The teeth of the date wheel are covered by plates in some places. This so that it is secured if or when you hold the watch upside down.
Two plates had to be removed. If you are interested in their names: “Date dial guard” and “Day jumper”.
Here I have already removed the “Day jumper” and unscrewing “Date dial guard”
