Well done for getting it off Tmac and well done to Jim for suggesting the tool, I had not seen one of these before!
So what was the problem with the bezel, just tight?I think it was just stuck due to pure filth. Luckily, it wasn’t screwed all the way down as there was a small enough gap for me to get a 30 gage needle into it (pentrating oil injection). That little tool worked like it cost $50.00 – that’s the best $5.00 I’ve spent in a long time. Once I got it off I cleaned the threads on the case and the bezel; when I put it back on, it went on like it was brand new. I believe that if it had been that badly cross threaded, the threads would have been damaged beyond use. Anyway, I’m just happy its fixed – this certainly proves the value of this forum. If I had to replace the case, that alone would have cost me as much (or more) than the Ultimate course and I wouldn’t have had exposure to Bob’s massive knowledge base.
