Hey I'm Tim. I'm from Southern US. I'm looking to change out the  bezel of my citizen eco drive bl5400-52a. Thought about attempting a crystal change myself a few months back but was told to send it to citizen to fix in which I did. I found a diamond bezel that fits my watch and am curious if that's something that can be done pretty simply. Will there be gaskets involved does anyone have experience with this particular watch?

Dial plate powers the watch, slightest damage to it ruins the watch.

Welcome from Texas! I find that some of the simplest things can prove difficult in watchmaking. Some crystal replacements are trivial and others challenging. If would are not interested in becoming an amateur watchmaker, I suggest sending it to Citizen.

Thank you from Tennessee.  I originally bought this watch pre-owned being told everything was in great shape. When I received it in the mail the crystal looked like it had been Beaten on a rock. Thought about trying to replace it myself. Thankfully I couldn't find the replacement gaskets anywhere and sent it in to citizen where they found more was wrong with it.  It's good now though with an extended warranty. guess I wouldn't wanna ruin that.

      Deciphering mainspring specifications…

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Hi John, The most important parameter of the spring is the thickness. The lenght is something that one would not consider as obligatory, as relatively big variations will not affect anything in significant way. The barrel size is related to the barrel and has nothing to do with the spring. Yes, the spring is designed to work in a barrel and the size of the barrel matters, but let this parameter be chosen by the movement manyfacturer, not by the sping manyfacturer who doesn't have idea in what kind of movement the spring will work. Sometimes the washer in which the spring arrives will be bigger than the barrel and there will be no way to just push the spring in the barrel and be happy. Well, if this is a problem for somebody, then probably He is a person with to many problems that will be verry hard to help to in any way. By the way, why You are changing the spring? Is the old one broken?

      I went with 8.90£ because 12th century Italian mathematicians are always excellent topics to bring up when trying to get your guests to go home.

      As a beginner, I’ve found this forum invaluable. I doubt I would’ve persevered without its support. I’ve had the confidence to attempt things that seemed to me impossible only because I knew there were patient and giving folks gathered around this watering hole, available to share their skill.    I would very much like to know where to go if this one dries up and everyone needs to decamp.  There’s something special about the folks gathered in this group.  How to keep in touch?
