What you can do is type it in say Microsoft Word use the spell check in that then cut and paste it here. -
Thank you for your reply, Curare. You offer me hope ! Yes, my experience is that crystals with a tension ring require a very heavy screw down on the crystal lift - I’ve cracked a couple. I think I’ll use a press to install the new crystal and keep my fingers and toes crossed that I don’t mash the underlying dial and movement. Waggy - there’s no bezel on this particular omega case and the movement loads from the front (there’s a spit stem), so the only option is to directly fit the crystal into the case with the movement in place. And what happened to you could so easily happen to me! I have woken in my sleep, heart racing, seeing the fragments of smashed crystal gouging the dial and mangling the hands! I’m hoping someone who has worked on an Omega Dynamic might have some direct experience and will let me know how they managed the surgery. Thanks to all. Cheers, John Oldhippy - thanks for your comment. So, you’d just go ahead and place the crystal using a press, movement in situ, in the case? OK - that’s what I’ll do. Cheers, John -
The correct tool is a crystal press. The popular crystal lift isn't made to fit tension ring crystals.

I bought a litre of perc (tetrachloroethylene ) for 20 quid. I cant say I'm particularly impressed with it. -
