Ueno Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi so I will get a new crystal and new snowflake hand set for my tudor. Here is the problem. I know how to remove and install the new crystal but I do not know how to install the new hands and I do not even want to try to prevent any damage so I am taking it to a watch repair guy. Is it going to be ok for him to remove and install the new hands just with the crystal off or he is going to have to remove the movement from the case? I am asking this because I am thinking about taking the watch to get the hands installed before I put the new crystal on. What do you experts think? Sorry for annoying with this question... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Careful. Bad watchmaker can still damage the new hands. The watchmaker will have to take the movement out first, which is no big deal. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 yeah i dont suggest you do the hands yourself if you have no experience, especially if you want them to be pristine. you can install new hands with just the crystal off, which is how i always do it in order to remove any dust from the dial before reinsertion. also it helps to have the stem installed while its seated in the case, cause if you screw up the keyless works you have to tear it all down and risk damaging the hands because at that point you have to remove them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
