·Hello,
I am a newcomer, and very happy to have discovered this forum. I am looking for advice on how to remove the rotating bezel of a vintage tuning fork Omega f300, diver two-piece case construction, ref. 198.0005.
I am not a watchmaker, just a vintage watch enthusiast, and have already asked the experienced watchmakers I know in Montreal. They all shake heads in doubts and hesitations, murmuring about potential risks of breaking this or that. I have as well researched online, but with no definitive results.
Looking at the piece, I see 3 little holes around the perimeter of the lower ring. If I understand correctly from the online info, they have something to do with small ball bearings below the rotating bezel. I am wondering if these holes participate in any way in the removal of the bezel.
I will very much appreciate your help, and I warmly thank you in advance!
