UmpaHimself Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hey guys! I'm sorry but I have been searching the various fora and not finding an answer. I'm trying to replace the T27 on my MBW with a Clark T39. I was able to remove the crystal retaining ring but the crystal would't come out just by pulling. So then I removed the movement and tried to apply pressure from inside with my thumbs but not a single budge. Tried to pry it up from the sides but couldn't get anything underneath it. What else can I try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Use a Stanley box cutter blade and gently tap it under the crystal. It should work. Otherwise u can gently heat the case with a soldering iron. Most likely the crystal was glued into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 DAYUM that is sexy! Are you sure that's a T39 and not a T19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 90% sure it's the 39 but I did buy both and tried both so it's hard to say at this point Edit: actually I just double checked and it is the T19. I guess the T39 was too wide for the bezel retaining ring and the bezel insert. Not sure what the spec of that one is but it's kind of useless and I spent a lot more on that then the T19.
