Chronos unscrew, but the cheaper mag ones are crimped. Some say you can ease them off by going around with a small screwdriver a little at a time, but I don't see how that would leave them looking anything other than crap.

Pay for a pro job, maybe? ;)

you should be able to get a new bezal kit to replace the one you ease off with a screw driver, check flea bay for the kits.

Yes the kits are available but just as hard to put on neatly as the removing of the old one, I made a tool with a small ball race on the end this fits in my lathe and slowly rotate the speedo assembly whilst feeding the tool in a little at a time.
