Fossil Jacqueline ES5090 - Accessing the dial? Please help!

[JJKRIZZI]

Hello!

Could someone guide me to the correct tool to open the front face of this watch: Fossil Jacqueline ES5090 ? I need to get access to glue back one of the hour markers.

Looks like a case knife should do it.  I don't have much experience with such modern watches, but I changed the glass in a similar watch for a friend and I needed a case press to get the front back on.

Okay thank you @mikepilk I saw similar watches requiring the bezel to be popped off with a case knife, but didn't want to go ham on it before double checking I'm not missing something professionals know!

There should be a slot where you can insert the knife.

@mikepilk I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for your advice, I successfully opened, repaired and closed the watch
