gplracer Posted December 27, 2017 Report Posted December 27, 2017 So I have a more accurate crystal on my Tudor 7032. I had to sand the bezel to make it fit. I have used crystal glue to put the crystal on. I have sanded the bezel so I can almost push it on all way. There is just a very small gap to get it to go on all the way. Should I sand it just a little more or use a case press to get it on the final amount. I do not know the best/normal option. Obviously I do not want to break the plastic crystal. This is the same process and assembly as a Daytona 6263/6265. The other option would be to sand the crystal a little more than then push it the rest of the way by hand.
alligoat Posted December 27, 2017 Report Posted December 27, 2017 Don't oversand it where you can press it on by hand. You want a tight fit- that improves the chances of it being WR. I always use a crystal press for these deals.
gplracer Posted December 28, 2017 Author Report Posted December 28, 2017 Thanks, M. It worked out great! I used a case press to get the bezel on the rest of the way.
alligoat Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 That little $15 crystal press from Harbor Freight is a great tool for pressing on stuff.
