Open Crystal Calibre 17

[Reidar]

Hi.

I have a replica Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 17 where one of the metal cases inside the Crystal has fallen out. This is a relatively cheap replica (quartz - paid $100) but Works really well. I want to open the Crystal and fix the problem. Can anyone help me with how I open the crystal. Tried from the back - but it the opening for the movement is too small to fix it from there.

 

See Attached Picture.

 

thanks in advance

I'll take a stab at this!!!  Disclaimer:  I generally have no clue what I'm talking about.

 

 

- Assuming you have no tools, take two small sharp knives and slide them under the bezel at 12 and 6 and apply equal pressure to pop the bezel off...

 

- remove the crystal

 

- remove any glued gunky bits, it's probably been glued

 

- access the face, remove the fallen piece with tweezers

 

- use a very tiny bit of super-glue to re-affix the offending piece

 

- replace crystal, glue if needed, tiny tiny amount

 

- pop bezel back on glue if needed - tiny tiny amount

 

 

hope that helps - again, it's what I *think* might work, not having tried it on this model of this quality.
