toehh 0 Posted January 31, 2013 I received my 42mm planet ocean with swiss eta today. I got right on to modding by installing a crystal from SunnyDale @ RWI. It looks much much better now. And a little before and after: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toehh 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Everybody to his own but the blue is inaccurate to gen so that's something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toehh 0 Posted January 31, 2013 For me, it was really easy. Don't know how its gonna be on a LM model. Just make sure you have a crystal press and all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAGster 5 Posted February 2, 2013 Yes, I have the crystal press and my watch repair kit ready for the job. Question here: did you toke off the bezel in order to install the crystal? Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deef 0 Posted February 2, 2013 Bezel stays on. Crystal pops out nicely. Just put Gen dial, hands, tube and crown on mine. Still waiting for my sunnydale crystal. Must take a while to get to the states? Yours looks awesome. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I received my crystal today, in fact arrived yesterday but I was not home so I had to go to usps office and pick it up. I think it took like 6-7 days to arrive, I´m located in Southern California.

dejavu157 0 Posted February 7, 2013 how do u remove the crystal? i dont get it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAGster 5 Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) how do u remove the crystal? i dont get it I did this: 1. Open the case back. 2. Remove the crown stem. 3. Remove the movement. 4. From the inside remove the crystal using a watch crystal press. In some cases the crystal will pop out just by pressing with your fingers. 5. Place the new crystal and firmly press it using the right nylon die size on the watch press. 6. Put the movement back. 7. Close the case back. I also put some silicon grease to the gasket. 8. Clean your watch and voilá! The use of finger or hand latex gloves is highly recommended for this job. Cheers! Edited February 8, 2013 by TAGster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
