Nice original example, Ken. Not much debate needed on this one.

Andersok... what's the proper way to open this case?  I see a lot of them with "pry" damage.  I recently acquired one of these and would love to sew the movement ... but don't want to go jabbing spots I shouldn't haha.  Thanks!  ---

The bezel will separate from the back. Look for an indent/opening along the sides where you can insert a flat tool to separate it. I believe the crystal and bezel will stay together.
