The 1016: The Under Appreciated Thread

This is me. This is absolutely what I feel about Watchmaking.
I have numerous dials - I'm painting, texturing, applying Indices.
Don't get me started on how I want to convert Ebauche back to Three Quarter Plate.
The Movement in the imagination is the kernel of innovation.
Whatever it is.
It's a mad place at the same time as being a rational approach.
There's no other way of squaring it away except by doing it. . . .
We brothers, we do it.

Does anyone have @manodeoro ‘s contact information? I've been trying to get in touch with him, but he hasn't responded in a while...
I have the same "problem" and have his email. Is it appropriate to contact him by email after 3 weeks?
Yes, feel free to send him an email, let one of us moderators when you get an answer please.

It has been a while, here is my 1016:
Many tanks automatico for your reply I am really grateful for you taking the time to explain the process,
I had ordered the the tool prior to reading and it arrived today (pic below) my impatience got the better of me (again) and I could resist giving it a go
It’s a lot sturdier than the my old one with the outer jaws being supported and also a cut out for the case
Fortunately the bezel and crystal came off with no damage, I was very relieved.
I took the opportunity to photograph the Ruby crystal next to the one I received from Gleeve last week, you can really see the difference in height and how domed the Ruby (on the right) is.
Also measured them
Ruby
Gleave &Co T22
The OD is quite a bit different although I could remove a bit of material from it (did this with a t19 on a 5513)
Going to try the yellow t22 from Gleave &Co next as it’s inexpensive, will update in due course

You are more than welcome.
The bezel remover looks well made!
I had to r/r a bezel on a high mileage lady Rlx 69173 yesterday. Took the movement out first and it went Ok using blades. Hard on the nerves though.
