you don't want to remove the crystal, you need to remove the caseback, remove the stem, movement holder tabs and take out the entire movement/dial, then fix.

some tools, skills and steady hand will be required.

Wow thanks for the quick reply, are there any guides you can link me to? I'm a complete noob with watches, but I've fixed and built many diecast models before, I'm guessing il need some special equipment? Also I'm not pretty good with watch terminology yet so forgive me.

Much appreciated
