FxrAndy Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 There should be no need to remove the bezel, it should be a case of pressing it back in, get a cheep press off the bay and use that to make sure you get it level and flat, I am assuming this was a dry water proof test?

r@f Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 No dry, but the crystal popped before the water immersion, just a drop from the splash went to the dial.

chefcook Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 It depends on how your ex1 is constructed: If it is gen like and has a crystal gasket that is about 2.75mm high you'll have to remove the bezel. Same story as installing a crystal on a submariner: Stick the yrystal with gasket on the case, press the bezel OVER the crystal gasket combo. If it is built like the noobmariner for example Andy described the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefcook Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Difficult to say from the pictures. Maybe someone with experiences with those explorers can chime in... I only have an old TW Best cased Explorer, dunno if it is the same case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
