Watch glass adhesive ?


Recommended Posts

Hypo cement is best for acrylics that dont have quite enough tension on their own, or if there's any other concern about the sealing. For mineral I suggest Seiko cement, it's very high performance, and dries clear (even though the hardening agent first makes it yellow) has to be left for 12 hours or so but maybe you don't want to buy and store one of those UV light boxes for baking the glass in (which I assume is necessary, but I might get told otherwise). and maybe time is not of the essence, in that case Seiko cement is ideal.

Thanks for all your help guys,

it's interesting to hear of other peoples techniques and which ones are more successful than others,

I was going to use GS hypo cement but now I may use the Seiko and perhaps invest in a UV lamp at a later date.

Thanks again.  :)

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
