Need A Little Advice With 1675 Build

[ceejay]

Guy's I am part way through my 1675 build, the parts are rolling in but now I need a little advice.

Case is a cartel 1655, 116 crystal from Clark's and a WSO bezel assembly.

 

I have done my CG reshaping 'cornino' style

Problem is the bezel assembly is loose over the crystal, only a tiny ammount but certainly doesn't clamp on to the crystal.

Is this normal and is it time to go for glue?

 

If it's glue at this point what type (not necessarily brand) are you guy's using?

 

For my first build it's all going nicely so far

I had this problem before and used clear silicon to cement it down which has the added bonus of water proofing it too.

 

You can buy from hardware stores but make sure its the clear variety. You won't need very much so take it easy just make sure there are no gaps between the ring and the case.

 

Its cleans up real easy too

 

Hope it helps

 

Cheers

Thanks Pete, I have some clear silicon in stock so thats cool.

While your about, got any tips for installing your DWO? It's going on a DG3804, I am going to remove the ring and sand it down as advised for the clearance. Anything else I need to know about?

 

Cheers

I'd suggest Watchmakers Hypo Cement, it seals very well. If not go with Pete's suggestion and grab the silicon
