I'm assuming it's out of the dash sitting on your bench. My advice is to
take it to a good watchmaker/clock shop that specializes in restoring old
timepieces. There is nothing in there you can fix, but there is much you
can do to ruin it! I've actually had old clocks restored by saving the face
and hands and installing new, modern guts when the old innards are beyond
repair.

Sometimes it's just a matter of twisting the bezel until the tabs line
up with voids in the edge and the bezel can be slid off the gauge.
