Not sure about the crystal and crown but the case back needs to be lifted up. There is a watch tool for this procedure but a thin sharp knife may work. You work the blade between the case back and the case and twist upward. However, this case be hard to do and I would suggest if you ar enot sure to approach a proper repair professional (ie: The Zigmeister). TimeShare
hackR Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Posted March 31, 2009 timeshare...great...thanks... i do see a small "slot" of sorts in the caseback's inner edge that is visible now -- and where i could insert a small screwdriver or knife between the caseback and the case...i've tried this, but didn't want to force it - especially if actually unscrewed... do you - or anyone have any advice on what tool i should use - a small screwdriver or what...and should i pry it up or twist it?... thanks...R
