Is the advert actually misleading ? You dont get the watch that you expected to get ? Risky for any company to try to misrepresent their product if thats the case.....they will have it covered somewhere in some smallprint that youve missed.......you'll know soon enough.  As far as i know that inner bezel is loose and traps the dial into place when the crystal is clipped down. i have an 80 Timex part stripped down with something similar....its stored away for now....... could i as hell get that watch to tick with good amplitude

Installing the balance with the top plate on is a complete barsteward.

Thanks for a encouragement

If you are new to watch repair then do not attempt this yourself unless you feel very confident with removing and replacing the crystal and/or you are prepared that it may not go the way you hope.

i think we were all confused as i've never seen a crystal cover the "bezel" like this. It does look like the crystal needs to come. Maybe its just a press fit, and you can pull the movement out and press it out by hand
