Tag Heuer crystal glass replacement guidance


Recommended Posts

I have this Tag that is getting a new crystal.  (My neighbor discovered my hobby!)  I ordered a generic 24mm by 2mm from Ofrei because this is what I measured of the broken crystal and the inner diameter of the watch.  I measured before removing the crystal and then after removing, I pieced together to confirm.

I have watched the WRT video on this topic, so I think I understand.

When the crystal arrives, I am going to use my crystal press and push!

When using the press, I will use the correct adapters so that the movement sits planar to the press.

If there is any special consideration due to it being a Tag, please let me know.

I bought two crystals because...well...it is my first time ?

That works if the crystal is flat without bevels, but an expensive watch it may have some subtle features. And even if the original was mineral glass I'd recommend to the owner to fit a sapphire one. 

The measurement is made with the crystal removed, to inner diameter of the gasket.
