I sincerely hope removing it is as “trivial” as you say, but it’s worth nothing that in excellent condition, these can be valued at around $4000, so knowing one’s limitations to avoid possible damage and devaluation, is s good thing to keep in mind.
It's all trivial, until it isn't...

Just accidently ran into this thread. The other day i was polishing the hesalite on my '69 Speedy, and was annoyed i couldn't access the outer perimeter which was therefore left scratchy. I'm more of a risktaker kind, so thought why not pop the bezel? I've seen William's tutorial with the poker chip, well, i'm not that brave though. To add to the story, my Speedy's got the rare 220 bezel, in pristine condition (the best i've seen so far), so if i damage it, that's a real bummer. I had the tool in the OP in my possession, but had the same concerns as most here, so reproduced the 4x blades out of hard plastic. And.. snap! Off it came. Must admit, as i was tightening the tool, my heart skipped a few beats..
