I think this is worth a look: http://watchguy.co.uk/restoration-jardur-chronograph-valjoux-71/

Ah. No offence, but the Bible is not a scientific book. I don't believe it's literally the precise words of God. I'll go so far as to "know" it. So understandably, you'll never convince me otherwise, and vice versa :). Also, I'm a Catholic and the guys with big hats or little round hats used to burn people like me so they keep out of science these days. The age of the rocks, incidentally, does not rely on a fossil record. Typically it's based on the rate of decay of radioactive isotopes within the rock - radioactive decay rates are well established and can be confirmed in any lab using the base elements thus making it reasonably accurate. Dating using fossil content was a technique used before radioactivity was well researched. It's still used to a degree because fossil layers have been pre-dated using the radioactivity method - so it's a handy approximation until you can get samples tested properly. Also, the radioactivity method is not just one method - there are numerous radioactive elements that may be cross referenced depending on the rock and accuracy desired. Main point being - the underlying decay rates are very well established which gives radioactive dating significant weight as evidence. The swan was freaky ;). The glass rods was an incredible idea. I was blown away by how intricate those cam stacks were - imagine carefully forming and shaping each one perfectly.

Got my ikea bench assembled and ready for use

I believe i had one before for repair and if i have good memory,the bezel was pressed in with a gasket. The screws were only decorational ones So try the knife way i believe you will succeed p.s: sent from my s****y phone so sorry for typing mistakes

I'm still convinced that it comes out the front and that the screws will have to be removed to remove the bezel and crystal. I only hope someone who does know tells you before you damage something.
