How to remove bezel on a GMF V3 GMT?

[PorscheRacer]

Hi all,

As per the title really.

I have a GMF V3 GMT and I want to send the bezel away for a paint mod, but I need advice on how to remove it, and refit it.

I am not a watchmaker but I can buy basic tools if required.

I do not need to remove the insert from the bezel, as I will send the bezel with insert to the watchmaker/modder.

Thank you

Just to add, I actually have one of these opening tools if it helps to lift the bezel?

The GMF GMT bezel comes off pretty easily but I wouldn't do it without a bezel removal tool. I taped dial protectors on the blades to further protect the case. The watch goes in face down. The bracelet should be removed first, it just gets in the way and it's a metal tool so PCL especially is quite vulnerable to scratches.
