    You're certainly not wrong about lack of watchmakers tools, but I enjoy learning. Maybe best to ask via PM.

    The marking of the caseback gives it away. "use all proof 1280 wrench"...
    Split stem and air pump is the way to go. Without the air pump to pop the crystal a "crystal lift" is next in line of "weapons of choice".

    Looks promising! Good luck!:thumbsup:

    The lift may or may not remove the crystal only. Both the air and the lift will not work on an Omega monocoque steel case in good condition. Then you'd still need to remove the bezel with the tool I suggested, and the crown, before the dial & movement can come out.

    PS: from the Longines Admiral monocoque cases I've seen, the bezel had to come out as well to remove the movement.

    (Why does it always have to be a public announcement? Can't the thin-skinned just quietly leave without calling a press conference?)

    My wife actually mentioned this same thing to me the other day from some wives group that she is a part of online. Every few days one of the girls will make a big speech about how she doesn't need the negativity in her life and say that she is done with the group. Only to reappear online a few days later, lurking in the background to see if anybody commented on how right she was and to see if anyone missed her.

    You're giving him what he wants. The more we comment on his departure the less likely he is to go.

    Annoying but rather entertaining, don't you think? At least it provides a break from those Speed hoarding brouhaha :D
