·I just purchased a 1977 Omega Seamaster 166.0203, I took it apart to start my project and when I pushed on the crystal from behind it just popped off with no resistance. I'm trying to put it back together or at least understand what tools I need to connect the crystal/bezel back to the case.
I can't find any information on this model and how to put it back together. I did find one entry on this forum about the 166.0203 and the bezel, one user said you reattach it through pressure, like a crystal press? But the way this Seamaster is designed it almost seems like glue was used because its a flat edge against another flat edge. There was an dried yellow gunk on the case and bezel that I cleaned off.
1. Did they use glue in 1977?
2. What am I missing how do I attach the crystal/bezel back to the case?
3. Any information will be helpful, I'm stumped on this one.

Replacement Crystal (The replacement crystal looks the same with attached bezel as what I have) - https://perrinwatchparts.com/en-us/...stals-cy-om063pz5208-case-ref-1660231-1980029
Note: Its genuine omega crystal, I can see omega logo underneath the correct lighting.
