Hey all!

I’m going to be converting this into an LP dial, and this watch I got from Viking Essence. But it appears to be a 3 piece case set. How do you guys recommend I get the front bezel and crystal to unscrew? I already removed the patina. Thoughts? Image

That looks a lot like the San Martin version. If it’s the same case it isn’t a 3 piece, but it is a really good one! Where did you pick this one up?

Looks like 45 minutes of work. 😂

Considering the state of the balance wheel, the broken shaft, it still takes a little more time..

Pressed bezel. Remove the movement and press out the crystal/plexi and use a case knife to remove the bezel.

Got it!

Now to get the right dial. Belkin is making me a blue LP dial that I’ll try. Really wanted a cream 372 style dial to put in it….
