    Hi, I was hoping could help me on how to separate the case from the movement on this specific watch.

      You have to use a watch press. Push on the crystal from the front. It has a ring holding it from the inside of the case.
      To refit you have to reverse it. Put crystal in and then press the ring back on from inside the case.
      It’s a tight fit!
      This video is one of my first ever videos from 6 years ago. Surprised it’s still being watched .

      I just received one of these, my grandfathers watch. I don’t have a press atm so still trying to separate the glass from the case.

    Is that a steel case?? So you don't have to worry about removing a plating or veneer?? Also need to be careful not to round any of the square edges of the case, for example the top plane to a side plane. That case was designed to be very geometric with sharp right angles. A soft sanding surface could unintendedly round some of those edges.

      The bracelet is just held in with 10mm standard springars that you can access from the underside of the last link. If they are stuck then use some penetrating oil on them

    Is there every concern about over buffing and making the case too thin?
