1655 bezel, does it just pop off?
I noticed my 1655 bezel is not perfectly aligned.
I have popped off my 5513 insert/bezel before, is it the same technique for the 1655. Is there a pin or anything underneath it? Or is it just pressure fit? Any suggestions before I get in there... |

The bezel for the 1655 does not "pop off" like the ones for the Subs and GMTs. IMO, this is not a DIY job unless you have the proper tools and experience.

It's pressed in. Take it to a competent watchmaker to make this adjustment.
