lol Hope this isn't one of those projects I end up taking a bag of parts to a watchmaker. :)

Yeah that happens sometimes, I'd push it from the inside out. Gasket could be damaged and I personally never re-use a gasket but if it doesn't have any visible damage you should be good.
Make sure to clean the crystal thoroughly with a microfiber cloth before, then click it back into the gasket, make sure there is no dust on the inside.
Put it on the rehaut and press the bezel over the gasket, I recommend using a bit of fomblin on the inside of the bezel before pressing it secure over the gasket, they can be a little tight.
How are you going to line up your loupe though, eye-balling it?
