Reidar Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 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.
