Hello,

I have a Seiko 7009 with a mineral glass and I'm trying to figure out how on earth do I loosen that bezel and glass off the case.

Thanks for your help

Watch crystals are is removed and refitted with a crystal press. There is no need to remove the bezel for that, the glass can also be polished being left in there.

Indeed I managed to get the glass out. The bezel is still firmly in place though. But I suppose I will need to get the bezel out if I want to replace everything properly.

Thanks for your answer

No, as mentioned above that's not needed when working with the glass. The  bezel is a separate piece just to allow a more featured shape to the watch. It is called a three parts case.
