Steven SchechterRemoving an Omega Crystal
I have just obtained a previously owned Omega De Ville automatic watch.
On the back it is marked waterproof 166033 tool106. I can easily remove
the bezel, but cannot seem to get the crystal, an Omega crystal, out.
It appears to be glued in. Any suggestions.

Michael McGuireI though there was just a brass or metal ring on the inside. Just remove it and the crystal should pop out.
It may have been glued in to prevent leakage..

Steven SchechterI was able to remove it with a crystal tool, but it took a lot of pressure to get it out. Other suggestions, which I did not try basically said to pressurize the watch and the crystal would pop out.
