Help with pressing AP crystal

Recommended Posts

fustyler

I have been struggling to install a crystal bought from Domi into my AP diver. I followed the instructions from past tutorials and press the crystal from the inside of the bezel outwards. I tried two different presses with a lot of force but yet the crystal still won't go in. Is anyone able to provide some tip?

Domi, domi, domi.....it seems it does not fit.

 

Is it a brand new crystal? Guess so

 

Cooling the crystal and heating the bezel is a possibility

I use a modified bench vice to press crystals in and I'll tell you something an AP crystal puts up more of a struggle than anything else I have ever done and this is with a BIG bench vice.

 

I have a feeling a flimsy little crystal press doesn't have enuogh leverage to press the crystal in...try adding an extension to the handle to get more leverage

Maldonado, I am install a new crystal after pressed out an old one.

I am pressing in the correct direction, from inside to outside of bezel.

When I compare the size of the crystal of new and old, the Domi crystal seems to be about half a mm bigger than the crystal from stock crystal on v3.5.

I wrapped the gasket around new crystal, but then discover that I am not able to put the crystal around the old crystal since it has been stretched by the new crystal.

Looks like the gasket is wrecked, is it mandatory?

I need to check with Domi. Does anyone the difference in crystal size between diver and ROO sec@12?

It also looks like I will need a new crystal gasket, can anyone let me know where I can get one please?

Thanks all.
