I'll take some closer up photos after work. I couldn't see any evidence of prying on that crystal. Also, to me, it looks like the crystal is touching the case directly, I don't see a bezel that would come off. Should I try spinning the acrylic crystal? I ordered a cheap crystal lifter this morning, but now I'm nervous about destroying it with that, if it is supposed to come out a different way.

There are two grazing in my back garden right now Mike, one is looking kinda frisky, so I may be buying Swatch out when the offspring arrives. -
We've all done it Chris. The pivot looked bent anyway, so you would have needed to change it - I have heard rumours of people straightening pivots, but some have also claimed to have seen unicorns 🤣 If you search Ebay for 'balance complete eta 1260' you will find some. Make sure you get the non-Incabloc version You will see some Renata balances, the number for the non-inca version is 164

Are there any areas on the case where there is still what looks like plating? It just looks like solid tarnished metal from what I can see. If it was plated, it would still be intact between the lugs, and it doesn't look any different to the sides. It's odd that the bezel is a different colour. I would just try to polish it, and see how it comes out. Plating is not that difficult - though it is a bit of an art to get perfect results. Power supplies are not expensive, about the same as the chemicals you would need. I copper plate first, as it sticks to most metals, fills defects and forms a good base layer for whatever you plate on top - nickel in my case. As @praezis suggests, if you want it plating, take it to a plating company for advice.
