Hi Steve

The 125 and 176.012 have the same crystal; part number is 063 TN 5237.

Here is a picture showing the puck and case; however the O ring is missing.

I have now replaced this with an Omega part but whilst I was waiting for this to arrive a bit of ptfe tape worked well.

My 125 was tough to remove I used some olive oil to soften the puck and when it came out the original O ring was a mess.

Be carful not to smash the glass by placing it on an uneven surface if you decide to try yourself! I used a wood table top with a T shirt in between.

If you do get them apart make sure you use the correct O ring as a thicker replacement will go in but not come out very easily. - Could be that this was done to yours.

With the correct ring and a bit of silicon grease they now come apart very easily and just click into place when pushed back in.

I really like this design, you can take the puck out then wash the case and strap at will without worrying about the seals.

Good luck

Mark
