You'll most likely have to do this multiple times so be patient. Another option is just having a more experienced watch maker/ repair person do this for you. They may have experience in doing this, if not maybe take it to someone who has. Just obviously let them know of the situation ahead of time, you don't want them to damage it further.

Thanks, I'll try the acetone soak. The watch is not water proof so it will be a very small layer of acetone but let's see what happens.
