What's the little dimple on the bottom of the case?
I've been asking myself the same question in fact as I earlyer saw features like that on full case watches...If I don't mistake.
My own conclusion after reflection: As the back can't be unscrewed, those watches have to be open from the front...The crystal must go off.
But then, you don't have any direct acces on the movement's back: You have to pop it off from the case.
I guess that this "dimple", is in fact a screw who free a little hole in the back case.
By looking the place where the "dimple" is, it seems to be right over the screw on the movement's bridge, who free the crown stem.
Sounds logic to me: To free the movement from the case for any services, you have the free the stem from the movement.
By poping off the "dimple", a thin screw driver could acces the stem screw and free it, making possible to pop the movement off?
My conclusion...Am I right???
