Fantasy Tudor Ranger build - budget!

Hi

 

I have decided to re build my Tudor Ranger, I had it in quite a nice 1016 style case but wanted to try a modern take. I used the old case for a watch for my wife! So now I am thinking if tempus machina did a 36mm Tudor Ranger, with a 114270 how might it look . .

 

 Here is the new version pieced together from parts I had in the box!IMG_4552.thumb.JPG.b0409abc3be43c3147372be664d0b117.JPGIMG_4555.thumb.JPG.3193cbfd9b7de090c2c3ae51a3c12c3a.JPG

 

So, I plan the following:

 

Drilled lugs

adjust end links for better 114270 style fit and look

fit the tube for the bigger crown

remove the rolexrolex engraving on the rehaut 

re brush and polish case

send the dial and hands to be re-lumed nice pillowy off white with a modern blue lume.

install a nice date lens or a nice flat bottomed dome crystal 

 

Already I have a couple of questions, can you help please?

 

1. How do I remove the crown tube?

There is no evidence of machining for a tool to unscrew it in this case or the donor SubC case the crown comes from.

 

2. Is the crystal gasket and bezel glued in together?

I would rather not destroy the gasket when removing.

 

Thanks in advance
