that's a great question - I was just thinking the same thing. I replaced the stock bulb with a P90 lamp assembly and this gets quite hot - want to change to different lens. anyone out there know??

I managed to open 2 G2s with a metal ruler that fits two of the grooves on the ring with no scratches or marks at all.

Watch case opener or spanner
Snap-ring "pliers" work well. They usually come in a set for outside/inside rings with replaceable tips. You can use the ones designed for outside snap-rings for this application. Everyone should have a set. Usefull for lots of things that require some kind of a light-duty adjustable spanner wrench.
I've seen the suggestion for the spanner wrench before. While that should work, it would be nice if we could get a source for the real tool, or at least something that grabs in more than just two places since it would be less likely to mess up the (inverse) "teeth". Anyone?

If there were enough "demand," I could make a pass-around tool. Sink 6 3/32" dowels into a piece of 1 1/4" dia delrin. I already have one for the M6.

I just bought a pair of circlip pliers (the type that opens out as you apply force) and they work quite well - be careful not to apply too much force though as you could break the plastic lens retainer ring.

FYI, I grabbed one of these on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5041190258
Adjustable and comes with various tips. Plus, maybe I'll actually use it to open a watch some day.

Worked for me before. Also great way to save money on doing your own battery replacement
