Crystals With Ar Coatings

[Mrbeebe2125]

Often times I will take in watch for polishing and cleaning of the case. I have learned the hard way not to put Anti reflective coated crystals in a hot ultrasonic. Should I remove the crystal? If so, do I soak it in ATTACK or try to push it out. Sometimes I cant tell if epoxy was used or a gasket.

 

Thanks

Use a glass press with nylon dies to push the glass out. Most watches with sapphire glasses - the glass will be pressed into a gasket, especially if it is a water resistant watch.

I found this one... would you suggest this model?

Yes - this is a good press. The screw action allows you more control than the lever type.
