Looks like you all have beaten me to this one. I'll just sit this one out. 😀

I got a bezel removal tool, it's the silver type that looks like the photo below (not my photo). I read some favourable reviews of the chinese bezel removal tools, it looked ok at first sight needed a little oil on the guide bars and bolt, nice and tight no play or wobble on the end section as it's been wound in, it operates smoothly, the blades looked looked nice and sharp no burrs well made, all good i thought it seemed like a good buy until i tried to use it. The problem is either the blades are too short or set at the wrong angle as the blades don't contact the bezel until the crystal is sat on top of the two aluminium supports pushing the watch case up so the blades will never go between the bezel and case, i've tried a couple of different watches with pressed on bezels, they are not even deep bezels but shallow ones. I've been looking at photos online and trying to compare the angles and distance between the blades, i will have a go at putting a shim under each of the blades lifting it up allowing the blade to contact the bezel, anyone had the same problem.

I disassembled and reassembled it again yesterday evening. One thing I found difficult is how to remove the stem after fitting the hands and before putting it back into the case. I need to hold the movement upside down without the hands touching anything which prevents me from putting it in the holder. At the same time I need to push the setting lever pin and pull on the stem. Having only two hands makes it awkward. Is there a trick? Should I be able to place the movement face down in the holder without the hands interfering? I have two holders a small and a big. The big is great for the st36 but too big for this movement but the small is too small for it. -

I really must get into pocket watches , its something that i haven’t thought much about. I imagine after tinkering with mens and ladies wristwatch movements for a while that the new scale of pocketwatches will be something nice to get used to.
