Is it common for solid gold watches to "lose their shape" because they are softer than gold filled models? The back/movement just falls out with the smallest bump.

That can happen with any watch case. I usually just apply a little pressure all around that top lip of the case back, more often than not just by pushing it against the edge of my bench, and that usually does the trick without fouling up the fit between the bezel and back.

About the crystal, I have an factory assortment with a ton of Cartouche models that I'll never use. I'll try to take a look.
