gplracer Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 What is the proper procedure for putting a gen crystal on a DW 6263? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Pop the bezel off with a razor blade and the crystal will probably come off with it. Just replace it and press the bezel back in place. It's a press fit between the case and the crystal. I suppose you should glue the new crystal in if you are expecting to make it waterproof.

gplracer Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Do most of you use crystal cememt or just a friction fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 No need for cement; just go with friction fit on the bezel. Should provide enough tension to seal it just fine. Just to note- If you have the steel 6265 bezel, you can press it on with a fairly snug fit on the crystal. If you have the acrylic 6263, you'll want to trim the bezel slightly; you want enough pressure to provide a seal, but if you have to use an excessive amount of force to press it on you risk damage to the bezel as it is prone to warping/bending.
