·I was doing that the second this one arrived 😀 haha
This operation should not involve removing the movement from the case at all. In fact, if your watch is one where the movement comes out the crystal side, the crown and stem should simply pull right out.
@gatorcpa I came across this thread from a few years back and wanted to see if you could elaborate on this? I have a '69 Seamaster Cosmic (where the movement comes out of the crystal side) with a 565 caliber and it came with an unsigned crown. Would be great if I can replace crown with an Omega signed crown myself, or as a fallback, take it to my local (Omega certified) watch maker to have him do it without having to worry about the labor cost for him to pull the crystal and extract the moment.
