Damn, Rolex have quality glue so I have to warm it up a bit.



Now I hope it will come off.



Ouups, not so good.



What do you think, did I have to change crystal? Or can it
be polished?

I hope that you did this to a fake watch!!!

And here's a Bluesy GMT (with original stick dial). I also switched to the upgraded bezel spring but of course, you can't see that from the photo...
