Default Re: Vintage Tire Gauge Question

Take it to a watch maker or watch repair shop. There is a special tool that grabs the edge of the bezel all the way around and squeezes it. This compresses the bezel to remove it. There is also a special tool to pull the pointer off and some screws that attach the face plate. If you cannot find a watch maker you may be able to pry the bezel off with a sharp knife, like a #11 Exacto blade, but you stand the chance of damaging the bezel.

Maybe the best thing is to leave it untouched and put it in a display case, then go buy a modern gauge.
