I meant more to say that if, in an alternate universe, 3D printing had come around a few decades earlier I'd expect every workshop would likely have one - they're simply too useful for how (relatively) inexpensive they are. -
I think my gameplay is going to be taking the movement apart again, clean and inspect and see if I can find the source of my issues. I am wondering if that lost incabloc spring has have found its way in to the movement somehow. That would be an amazing result if it had. I’m also considering buying a new mainspring as I’m suspecting that is the source of my low amplitude too. -
Looking at the case there's no bezel so it could just push out from the back once the movement has been removed but the correct way is with a crystal lift. I think you'll be lucky to find a #37. Here's one seller I've got marked for Timex, they've not got a #37 but do have some of the PA if you find one of these is correct. Edit Here's the 104 Service Manual showing cleaning procedure as mentioned in the 108 Manual. Lighter fluid can be used as an alternative to watch cleaning fluid and then IPA as a rinse.

Thank you both for your reply. If it does need to be removed, would you happen to know the best way to remove this crystal for measurement? And if it is a #37 lens, is there a straightforward way to order a replacement with that info? A quick google search didn't give me an obvious answer, unless it's hiding in plain sight which is very possible. -
