Help for mineral crystal size


Recommended Posts

Hello to all .

 I have to change a crystal broken in an Eberarhard watch to a friend.

The watch is arrived with the crystal broken and when I removed it with the press, it cracked completely.

Now with a digital calipher i measured from 12-6 and 9-3 and with the gasket plastic the size is 33,05  and without the gasket the size is 33,65.

Wich is the correct size to buy the crystal ?

The crystal is a simple mineral flat thick 1,10, and I find to cusins.uk that but I'm not sure for the diameter seize, I thinked 33,20

But please help me with an expert suggest.

Thank you

Thank you for your reponse, but it is fixed with the gasket, I take a new measurement and is right 33.00 with the gasket mounted.
Here the pics.
How is the right size to buy ?
Thanks for the help.

I would buy a  1 mm mineral crystal with I gasket maybe 33,7 or 33,8 . As it comes with the gasket also. If you go with the old gasket? which is not really recommended? I would try 33,1 and 33,2 . It's difficult to say and you could maybe end up trying a few different sizes before you get the right one?

Ok it is press fitted so you should also purchase a new gasket unless the old one is in good condition.  A 33.0 crystal will most probably be too loose so I would purchase a 33.1 &  33.2.

See vid below on how to fit.

    • So here is the new base (v 2.1), I made it so that the base will fit over and swallow the stump of the hand pusher tool (or at least my clone of the tool), I also reduced the OD of the bottom skirt a little as it looked/felt a little large, here are a few pictures and the fake .pdf file which you need to convert to .zip once downloaded.   The cut-out seen on the below image on the bottom of the base should swallow the OD (40 mm, +0.1 mm tolerance) of the stump and the height of the stump 9.5mm (measured to 9.1mm, but rounded to 9.5mm) - let me know if this works for your tool.   Note, I think you may need to print supports for the new internal shelf created?

    • Hi Frank, you have dived headlong into the deep end. Hairspring work has to be the scariest thing a newbie has to tackle. Your hairspring appears to be bent and just putting it back into the regulator would not allow the balance to work properly. It might start oscillating but the performance would not be good. The proper thing to do is to unstud the hairspring, remove the hairspring from the balance, reinstall the hairspring on the stud carrier, reshape the endcurve and centre the collet to the balance jewel hole. This challenge would either make you or break you. Hope that you will be able to fix your watch. Welcome to the world of watchmaking.  Watch this video. It think it'll give you an idea of the task ahead. From your 1st photo, I think you have a etachron type stud. Let me see if I can find a video on how to remove it from the arm.
    • Have read of the Tech Sheet attached on the balance section page 12. It may be bent but until you reposition it back in the regulator pins you'll never know. Cheers CJ 4R35B_4R36A.pdf
    • Aloha All, My Seiko 4R35B movement stopped working today. Upon closer inspection, it looks like the balance spring came out of the regulator pin. This is my first time working on a balance. Any advice on how to get this spring repositioned (back to normal)? I'm pretty sure that while adjusting the beat error on this movement, I must have turned the stud (I didn't even know they turned), and the spring eventually fell out.  Will the spring go back to even spacing when it's back in the pin, or does it look bent? Thanks, Frank  
    • Good job, that band matches the watch perfectly.
