Hello All, I’m replacing the crystal in an Omega Dynamic, # 165.039, which houses a cal 552, installed through the front of the case. The replacement Sterncreuz crystal is, like the original, with tension ring. I removed the crystal using a compressed air technique to pop it out. (I have a crystal lift, but I’m always fearful of marking the crystal edges and so avoid using it as much as possible). Now to the replacement - any tips on putting the crystal back in? Am I obliged to using my dreaded crystal lift to complete the task, or how about a crystal press? I’ve put lots of crystals in using a press, but never with the movement in the watch. The thought of using one with a front-loader makes me very nervous, with the fully assembled watch sitting under the press. How would more experienced folks proceed here? Any advice, gratefully received… John Down Under… -

No thats straight out of the watch as i found it the balance wheel is almost as bad. I've never seen so much material removed. -

I'll be honest that benchtop all the way around was something I really wanted to do. At the moment, it is not a possibility due to some upcoming expenditure that Liz and I have to go through. I already had these benches, so that will have to do for now. I'll work the rest out somehow. Hey, it took me 4 years to get to this. What's another couple of months? -

Has it been properly cleaned? If so, yes, it looks a bit funny.
