·I did not want to hijack the recent post “Omega 166.009/565 gold capped replacement crown” with my question as I am working on the same model?
I am replacing the crazed crystal which I paid a huge premium for sourcing the genuine part ( you can call me crazy🤪 ) and was wondering if the bezel needs to be removed as well?
These are armoured crystals fitted with a crystal press and if I can avoid removing the soft gold bezel to replace crystal, I would prefer to do it this way. It is not out of laziness but to avoid anything happening to the bezel as these bezels are impossible to replace, even more so in 14k gold?
Anyone having done this, please chime in , with my thanks in advance?
