Thanks guys you've been a great help to a beginner, every day's a school day 👍 I'm always crossing my fingers when I order a part as there's so many different numbers, I thought ordering a coffee was bad enough! 😆 -
This tells you how to fit the glass and they type of tool needed, but there are loads of this type of tool. https://blog.esslinger.com/how-to-press-a-tension-ring-fit-watch-crystal-into-place-with-a-watch-crystal-press/ When it come to buying the glass make sure you buy the one you need with the correct colour tension ring. -
Oh, that's cool. So I just need to measure the case diameter and decide what type I had before it broke and place an order. Looking at the document download you just press it in with a press, which I have 👍 Taking a measurement and tyle of ring I think I need a ATGB, picture shows a slight angel on the inner edge

The tension ring is part of the crystal. -
Great advice, thanks that worked a treat. Now I need to learn how this tension ring and crystal fit together and if I need any tools to put it back into the case. The crystal looks normal to me with flat sides so I'm trying to get the assembly procedure in my head. Obviously, if the ring goes inside the crystal, as shown in the pictures above, then you wouldn't be able to compress it like a non-tension crystal so is it then bonded in. There did appear to be a dried film of something around the bottom edge of the case that I scraped off with some peg wood. Food for thought! Isn't it horrible how the magnification and lights show up all the scratches, it looks fine to the naked eye😪
