Could you grind a scallop of material out of the two blocks that hold the blades to allow crystal clearance ? Or relocate two blades ? CJ

Mine like yours is mostly useless unless the crystal is flush and the bezel is plastic (which is easy enough to remove with a knife). A domed crystal as on a Vostok means the blades won't reach.

The crystal is facing down with the back facing up, it's just a design error with this chinese bevel remover, if i'd got it from another seller i may have got a chinese bezel remover made in another factory that passed QC and worked, this bezel remover will never work without modification. On the photos below you can see the differnce in blade layout the red tool looks like it's upto the job with blades contacting the bezel, the silver one is the one i got sent the blades are way too far apart and don't contact the bezel until the crystal is sat on the aluminium supports.

Turn it over as in the picture so the crystal side is down case back side is up. Some people put a plastic baggie so the bezel and crystal don't touch the large screws that move the tool dises in and out.

The tips of the blade on this bezel remover don't get any where near the bezel until the crystal is sat on the aluminium supports, this lifts the bezel higher so can never be removed with tool. I've looked at other bezel removal tools even the chinese ones of the same design, the blades are closer together so the point of blade that hangs over the edge is more towards the middle of tool so contacts the area between case and bezel, i think who ever did the layout for the blade holes in this batch of removers made a boo-boo and set the blades to far apart.
