Genius 281 Posted March 20, 2015 Can't you just leave the Crystal off and call it 'modded'? That way you can change the time without having to unscrew the crown You could tell everyone it's a new triple AR coating Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irishcain 0 Posted March 20, 2015 Gasket goes in first, the crystal gets pressed down into it from the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duzza 182 Posted March 20, 2015 Gasket goes in first, the crystal gets pressed down into it from the top. in to the retaining ring? then that goes on the watch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duzza 182 Posted March 20, 2015 I dotn think that can be right, as the crystal just forces the gasket out, I think they need going on the case and then the retainer goes over the top? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The crystal should snap into the gasket. Push the crystal/gasket onto the watch case, align the cyclops, then use the press to push the retaining ring down over the entire assembly.

black263 228 Posted March 21, 2015 I usually freeze my crystals for 30 min to contract the diameter a micron or two... Works wonders ime Similarly, warm the case up to around 37 degrees C. I say that, because it's the temp you get if you keep it in an inside pocket next to your skin. That way, you know you won't cook the watch. Warm watch, cold crystal.

Daywatch 4 Posted March 21, 2015 Good luck in getting it back together, there´s a crystal on m2m should You need it. Than pics of Your pearl please. Thanks for the post, learned not to mess around with the domed crystals on the 5512/5513 to change them for a flat Clarks, guess I would never get it back together - and I don´t have a press anyway - unless I use the anvil in the garage.

watch101 0 Posted March 21, 2015 I know it's hard to get a good focus on the pearl....the pictures don't actually do it justice in my opinion. It's better than it looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
