Wittnauer Chronograph Venus 188 movement removal

So I'm attempting to get this movement out to service it, but I'm having trouble getting the movement out and I was hoping someone would have a tip to see what I'm missing.
The caseback unscrews and there two tabs on the movement I removed that seemed to hold it in place. Unscrewing a screw near the crown and stem let it slide out.
It just won't budge. I took the crystal off the front but it doesn't seem to go that way mostly because the bezel surrounding the face doesn't have any way that I can see to remove it.
Maybe someone has messed with a similar piece?

Is there a movement ring holding it in?

What techniques might I implement to remove a bezel that's fit so perfectly? I have checked many times under magnification to find any small too mark or notch to get a case knife into but the fitment of the two pieces is so tight that many place you can't even see the seam. In a couple locations I see the faintest line the shows they are separate piece but I've tried prying my way into the seam and it won't take.
. I tried my crystal removal tool on the bezel tightly to try and lift, but I know it'll slip and likely damage the bezel and it probably makes it tighter with that sqeezing force anyways.

Beautiful movement! Good luck with the project!
