You should post pictures front and back to help others help you.

Just curious why is that you want to take your watch apart?

Hi JDM. The watch was accidentally drop't and partly damage the Crystal and the fragments form the crystal was scattered over the face, I wish to clean of the results of the slight damage, Rob

I,ll gent some shoots of the watch

Be aware that in any case, beside a perfectly fitting, and possibly original crystal (which may be impossible to obtain from Breitling), you will need a crystal press or lift to refit it. So if it is an one-time job it may be more expedient to give the watch to a reputable watchmaker for repair.

For just a crystal replacement certainly it is, but if complete servicing was included (consider it a necessity to properly maintain mechanical watches) isn't too far off from the market. Start measuring the case opening, to identify and obtainin the crystal first. Then even an equipped watch shop that change batteries may be able to install it perfectly.
