I am looking at buying this Corum Bubble SS Chronograph PVD coated case

And I wondered how hard it was to change the case?

Your watch houses a quartz or automatic movement?
I guess that it's exactly the same case as you have but pvd or brand new?

Mine is a quartz, I will check sizes but on the face of it, it looks like the same case.

if both your Corum,and this case you are looking to buy are genuine Corum,they should swap out fine....if either is a replica,then they will not,as the fake was made to house a Asian movement,and the case tolerances may differ...no.gif

Yes, with a genuine case and a quartz mvt, it will go light and easy.
You sould find a marked point to release the stem: Pull the stem fully out before "clicking" it out of the mvt.
