  1. Unfortunately you won't be able to remove the crystal without removing the movement from the case, so no, you can't do it from the front.

     

    Since it would seem you haven't opened a watch before I'd NOT recommend you follow this procedure because with a 7750 movement a lot of things can go wrong if you are not experienced. The sequence would be something like this:

     

    - you will need to remove the caseback

    - remove screws/tabs that hold the movement to the case

    - remove the stem

    - carefully take the movement/dial from the case

    - get a low strength glue like a Loctite Threadlocker 222 to glue the numeral back into the dial

    - Let it dry under a dust cover making sure dust doesn't get into the case either.

    - Reverse the process

     

    The glue alone will cost you (let alone the other tools, gloves, etc.). I'd suggest you find someone that can do it for you.

  2. Any links to where I can find the fix for the springs in the clasp?

     

    I can't find it but it's a very involved process. You have to disassemble the clasp being careful on how you pull it out. There are two small springs under the clasp fine adjustment bar that have to be replaced so the hold is stronger. I used the spring inside the mini Bic lighters (the mini, the regular one is too thick). 

  3. The three main issues with the V2 are:

     

    1. The bezel lume which is applied to the bezel metal instead of the sapphire like the gen (it given a sunken look to the lume)
    2. The extreme blue AR (I've removed the outer AR and it looks at lot better)
    3. The weak springs on the clasp (the reason why it slips). There are mods that can be easily done to fix it (basically replacing the springs).
