Good to see it was a backloader as I mentioned earlier...well done.

Good call back-loader supporters! My Swiss army Victorinox knife wasnt thin enough but the ikea salad knife was :) look how clean the mvmt (dr25) is!

I appreciate the group effort. Thanks

Hi all

Allow me to resurrect this one. 

It's time now to close the "back loader" case :)))

No matter how hard I try to push it back in place with a crystal press, it would just refuse.

Any ideas ?

Thanks !

Make sure this ring is seating properly in the case, some have a lip, which helps so it can only be fitted one way. As you have photos of the back, try to fit it, back in the same position. Have you replaced the glass?

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Curare · Posted

      Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      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.
