Update: Tried installing the crystal by hand, and there is no way i'm getting that thing in, was applying quite a lot of force and the crystal just will not give. Is there a specific tool or an intended way of actually installing these type of crystal? -
Update on this... The big lathes pictured were from Edison's machine shop. But the watchmaker's lathe and desk was not. My family just told me they found that in a preserved jewelry store near the Edison shop. They were there again and spoke to a docent this time, who told them that was Henry Ford's personal watchmaking bench setup and all Ford's personal tools on the desk. And not only that... As late as the 1940s before Ford died, he actually came in and worked on that bench at that lathe regularly while museum visitors were around because the museum and his collected buildings has opened in the 1930s. -
I start with one long edge, then the 2 short ones, leaving the other long one till last. -
Sounds like this might be the way then.

I hadn't realised how cheap you could pick one of these up for as my first thought was a new 8205. @SamLiddle Don't know where in the world you are but you're better dealing with them through eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/57720/i.html?_dkr=1&iconV2Request=true&_blrs=recall_filtering&_ssn=speedtimerkollektion&_oac=1&_nkw=citizen+miyota+8200
