II. REMARKS ON DISASSEMBLING AND REASSEMBLING
TECHNICAL GUIDE Cal. 4F56A, 8F56A, 8F58A
It is highly recommended that the exclusive movement holder (S-680) be used to disassemble or
reassemble the watch.
Use of other movement holders may make unreliable the screw pins (the gold part) of the main plate.
Be careful not to press the main plate too hard when screwing or unscrewing the pins.
To prevent deformation of the main plate, never use the movement holder which is designed to hold
the movement with only two side guides.
