You will see from the pictures the front has a large glass which is bevelled on the edge. to get into the movement you UNSCREW the front glass... This unscrews easy .... you will then see the hinge at the top XII o'clock and a little flap at the bottom to lif the movement up... DONT try and lift it without slightly PULLING  the CROWN out... this disengages the winder stem .. and the movement then hinges up. ...see the pics. When it is hinged up.. you can see the movement is signed  KOH - I - NOOR ...R.P.& S. SWISS MADE. In the back of the case it also says SWISS 3643 ... Remember to lightly pull out the CROWN when folding the movement back in... otherwise it will not go ..and to force it will only BREAK  the stem of the winder.When winding the watch you will notice the crown slips sometimes.. I do think this is from use of opening the movement and it has just rubbed off the edges of the SQUARE section winder STEM ...it does wind and it does work.... I have found if you lightly push the crown whilst winding it winds ALOT better.I'm sure you will know that the KOH I NOOR was once the largest diamond known in the world from INDIA .       It has a 47mm crystal - glass dia ...58mm actual case dia x 17mm deep x 85mm long to the supension loop and it weighs approx.... 131.6grams.   As with all my wristwatches & pocket watches I would recommend a service even if only to give them a good oil as the watches I buy come from live auction deceased estates and will never have been wound in years. I have not had time to keep time on them either.  If a scale is shown it is in CENTIMETRES ... 2.5cm = 1 inchPlease just click on a picture of the item and a new window opens up where the photographs are all enlarged ..scroll through each one to make sure you have seen the beauty of the item. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Click here  GEORGIAN HOUSE COLLECTABLESto see my EBAY SHOP items which are BUY IT NOW or Best Offers..these items dont show up on normal Ebay searches.  <<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>> For my full Terms & Conditions please  View My About Me page  Please note the items I sell are antique or vintage and as such have been around for many years, they will show signs of use and whilst I will describe condition to the best of my ability, everyone has a different idea of condition.  Please study my photo's  and ask any questions before bidding.Payment by PAYPAL ~ DIRECT BANK TRANSFER or STERLING CHEQUE only Please ASK questions before bidding.  I SELL   WIDE                        diggerlee Store Place a Bid!
