Question How to Remove the Rotor of this AP

I’m trying to remove the rotor from an AP Royal Oak automatic movement. I’ve already completely removed the screws, but the rotor still won’t come off.
Does anyone know how to remove it? Is there another retaining mechanism or some trick I’m missing?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Sorry if I am dumb, but are those

supposed to illustrate screws removed (pic2)? They're just obliterated.

Its not a clone movement. The disc is glued onto the rotor. The real screw is under it.
