Marv1n Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Has anyone noticed if the crystal in their PO is not flush? I have one of the newest Swiss POs from a trusted dealer, and the crystal is a few MM higher on one side than the other. I didn't notice it, but a friend who was checking the watch out did. How hard is it to fix this? Should I trouble the dealer with it, or suck it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd want to use a press to fix it so it'd seal properly, but if you don't care about it being water tight then you could just press it in with your thumb.

chris5264 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I ended up getting a press from Birdman for those types of things, but you can get a very cheap screw down clamp from any hardware store for about 5 bucks that will also do the job.

Good point... I've just acquired a GMT 2 that had a badly placed crystal.. Got a "C" clamp in the garage and some leather to pad the face and caseback... think I'll try that in the morning.
