I think the BP bezel is different because it uses wire clips.
Mine was a thick bezel as posted above.

Above is the JKF bezel that was removed.
The bezel edges are in very good shape

Someone may have answered this already so my apologies. I just got my JK 5513 from a seller on here. Strip the whole Watch down and I wanted to remove that big bubble crystal. Can’t figure out how to get this thing off this case. Any suggestions?

I think you can remove it by removing the movement and pushing it out from inside the case.
So take a razor between along with jewelers hammer and try to open it up! Is that correct?

Your case is probably an old BP.

2022 JKF (Cartel) 1680 Rolex Submariner review + modding the hell out of it
Intime recently released a bunch of 5513/1680/etc from JKF factory (Cartel). I asked jtime to help me source this in 21j version (https://www.intime06.co/rollie/9102-vintage-submariner-1680-ss-jkf-best-edition-black-dial-on-ss-bracelet-style2.html): I am not sure if JKF shares the same case...

Razor blade round the retaining ring, getting underneath, if it is tight enough that you can't push the crystal up, from the inside, and then, if you don't have a bezel pry tool (very cheap on eBay, Alix, etc) lever it up, a little, moving round the ring 90deg at a time, until the ring comes off, using a thin flat blade screwdriver or alike (even a stiff knife). If the crystal doesn't then push out from the inside, run the razor round the base and go through the same pry steps. If it's glued and you don't want to keep the crystal and you can't pry it up, soak in acetone (will kill the plexi) and repeat steps.

Corrected my spelling mistakes - was phone typing - sorry!
I use one of these, every time, despite having the fancier vice style.
Razor blade and one of those has never failed me! Good luck!
I’m reading that this might be a BP case not a JK case… Will your method still work for this type of case? I’m afraid if I get the crystal out I won’t be able to find one to match back up.

A hair dryer will melt glue if it is indeed glued on. That’ll save you from ruining the plexi with acetone.

This case is an old BP 16610 case, but it is integrated with the case instead of a retaining ring.
It was press-fitted into this gap.

I bought mine at Ali Express to match my Plexi.
