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.

      Just installed it on my iPhone (my only iOS device) and it appears to be intact and functional. I may have to go out and buy myself an ipad just for this app.

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Marc · Posted

      I have two Seitz sets, one ancient (with the 3mm anvils) and one just old (with 4mm anvils) plus a collection of spare pushers of assorted vintage. Not one of them is marked with it's size. Something which I have found very irritating when I have been using the tool and not returning pushers to their correct place in the tray every time as it means that I have to get the calipers out and measure them. These were bought as sets and collectively I have over 100 pushers so it would seem highly unlikely (if not inconceivable) that they are all cheap knock offs, especially as they are old enough to pre-date the prevalence of the Chinese knock off industry (at least as applied to watch making tools). I therefore believe them to be original Seitz parts. And there is no numbering. The shape of the bottom of the pump pushers is the same as your photo. The only thing that may not be the same is that the slotted insert (looks like a screw but is in fact a bayonet) should be brass. Yours looks the same colour as the steel but that could just be the lighting.

      It needs to be stirred before use and that makes it feel a lot thinner than when in the bottle. Does it feel as thin as 9010 after stirring it? I guess not! Yes, it's strange! I don't know, but if it is on impact it would make sense.
