Patek acrylic removal possible with Bergeon crystal lift?

Will I be able to use a standard Bergeron crystal press to remove the acrylic crystal from a 3445? Is there a tension ring on this model I should be aware of? Thanks.

Does anyone have experience in this area? Any vintage collectors?

Standard Bergeon glass press (5500A) with domed nylon supports and concave aluminium dies should fit and remove the plexi with ease.
