This is not a "fashion" watch, it was made in 1972. The first time I tried to open it I used a knife blade and hammer to start it, then used the opening tool. I thought it might be stuck with gunk, but cleaned it all up and its just the same. There is no gasket. It's so tight that I cannot hold it down with my thumb whilst trying to prise it with the opening tool. I just have to keep tightening the tool until it pings, which is starting to damage the case. If I leave it as it is, there is a chance of damage to the watch when it is opened. So I feel I need to do something.

I'd try to cut one from thin brass sheet? That's readily available and easy to work. Cut a strip with the length just less than the original part circumference, wide enough to include the tabs, then use a nibbler to cut the excess away between the tab positions. (This type of thing, if you've not seen them) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256437891452 -

Hello and welcome from Leeds. No such thing as a stupid question. Find something to practice on before starting the Vertex.
