Case press

[al qaeda with cheese]

I'm sure the case presses work but.... Is there a way to press in the crystal without using a press?

I have never tried to swap a crystal but I have the 116710 and found a crystal with the correct AR on the cyclops.

Sure, you already have everything you need out in the driveway.

Or use a hydraulic lift so it goes in straight...

An use the lighter of the two cars.... Or my Harley! That might just work (not that I would try it).

Nanuq on the other hand has a reputation of testing watches to destruction.

There must be a fine line between vintage and total destruction.

Yep. If it still tells time, it's vintage.

I would just like to confirm the automobile crystal press does work! It does scratch and Pitt the hell out of your watch, but it does work. I always have to test people's ideas.
