I have a 17 Jewel Poljot Watch from before the fall of the USSR here, and the second hand fell of in the glass. All I need to do to fix it is remove the mechanism from the case and reafix it, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the crown and stem. What screws do I have to undo, or is that tiny silver dot supposed to be pressed? I tried with a needle, but I don't want to force it.
>inb4 take it to a jeweler.
This is DIY.

Here is the front of the watch in case you need further help in identifying. (I went ahead and just removed the second hand from the case so I could continue using the watch.)

It's the little button directly below where the stem enters the movement, but the crown has to be pulled out to the correct position for the mechanism to work.
Don't know what that position is so just fucking try them all.

Mission Accomplished.
Thank you very much!

You know how many of my customers try to do their own watch (and occasional jewelry repair) then wind up spending 3 or 4x what they would have had they brought it to me in the first place?
I lost count because I love saying I told you so

Well, I spent $0 on this one, so I would have spent $0/3-4 to get this fixed I suppose. Wish I had known.
