Newbie here too, but I’ve done a bit of reading around this subject. Looks like a Breguet overcoil. You’re right about A and B - A is just a minor tweak - but most damage is between B and the stud. Pivots can be unbent, but there’s a high risk of breaking it off. Take care, and probably see how it runs before trying. That’s really dirty. I’ve never found IPA to loosen Shellac. If you’re worried, put it in soapy water in the ultrasonic and then dip it in IPA as a quick rinse to displace the water and prevent rusting. As for the stud - does it wedge in the angle and the screw holds it there? -
No, it is browser dependent - your browser may have a spell checker you can switch on in settings. A quick search on Google may help you if you don't use Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/12027911?hl=en-GB -

What you can do is type it in say Microsoft Word use the spell check in that then cut and paste it here. -
Thank you for your reply, Curare. You offer me hope ! Yes, my experience is that crystals with a tension ring require a very heavy screw down on the crystal lift - I’ve cracked a couple. I think I’ll use a press to install the new crystal and keep my fingers and toes crossed that I don’t mash the underlying dial and movement. Waggy - there’s no bezel on this particular omega case and the movement loads from the front (there’s a spit stem), so the only option is to directly fit the crystal into the case with the movement in place. And what happened to you could so easily happen to me! I have woken in my sleep, heart racing, seeing the fragments of smashed crystal gouging the dial and mangling the hands! I’m hoping someone who has worked on an Omega Dynamic might have some direct experience and will let me know how they managed the surgery. Thanks to all. Cheers, John Oldhippy - thanks for your comment. So, you’d just go ahead and place the crystal using a press, movement in situ, in the case? OK - that’s what I’ll do. Cheers, John
