Gently prying the movement up and out of the case

it's not easy to take a picture one handed in a low light environment with the flash off.. and a big dog chasing me.. uphill .. both ways.. barefoot .. in the snow.. oh sorry wrong rant of B.S. there ;) |

a bad closeup showing a good location
to pry against the solid part of the movement |
|
|
|
|
|
the movement is pretty much loose
|
|
|
|
there ya go its out!
|
|
|
|
|

Even though its a Malaysia movement the case parts are still made in Japan!
|
|
|
|
Notice the Movement Number!
Ill make a seperate tutorial later with my 007 on "how to upgrade your 7s26 to a 7s36" |

I bought a nother Hamilton Chrono today!
to celebrate I upgraded the movement in my 007 (the black one) to a 7s36 also! and while I had the movement out I replaced the crystal too since the old one has slag burns and scratches in it. I was going to do a photo tutorial on replacing a watch crystal with the 007 but I was just too excited to stop for pictures .. Ill change the crystal on one of my Seiko Chronos and do a photo tutorial with them . |

Another shot
Of my a35 (the yellow one) and my 007 (the black one) both with their brand new "Made in Japan" 7S36 23 Jewel movements a nice upgrade from the 7S26 21 Jewel and since the 7S36 will directly replace teh 7S26 all I had to do was change the dial and hands around put the old stem and crowns in the new movement and it was done! |
