As it's small its a watchmakers depthing tool. Clock makers use them as well but they are much bigger

This instrument was used to test the correct depth (or distance) between parts of a watch, such as the depth between a wheel and a pinion.

  My hair went in my early twenties, shaved it off and never looked back.

  It can be a good idea to replace the gasket as well, especially if has any kind of damage. If it's a very tight fit between the gasket and the crystal, a thin layer of silicon grease on the gasket can help a lot. Keep us updated!

  Double checked, definitely a fake bezel. It has a thin plastic gasket that creates the seal for the crystal. I went ahead and gave the case a good cleaning, and light polish. Now Im just hoping I can install the new crystal with out screwing up! I will likely be putting it in tomorrow night.

  Try the gel we used during covid. Works really great for removing gasket-turned-to-tar residue.
