Bignasty Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hello fellow watch addicts! Did this for M3Vert. His original crystal shattered for no reason. Seems to be a common problem on the 47mm reps. So he sourced the new Davidsen AR Sapphire crystal and shipped it all to me for the labor. He said his local watch repair guy didn't have the proper tools to complete the job. I replaced mine a few weeks before so I figured "why not, I'll help him out and get some experience!" I did this job for free, (well actually the member tipped anyway! ) but I'm considering taking odd jobs like this every now (for cheap fees of course) to help get some more experience! Watch out RBJ and The Zigmeister.....LOL! Looks very nice Mr. Davidsen, keep these quality parts coming! I've got one of these sapphire crystals from Davidsen, but bought before the AR version was released. I must admit, it's a very nice touch!. Comments more than welcome! Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bignasty Posted May 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Nice! would love to see pics of it installed! I'll leave that to the member. I only had him ship the bezel and crystal. I've got to build a reputation so, the less chances I take on my first jobs, probably the better. I mean I would hate to offer to mod a watch and recieve something broken in transit.

kiropraktor Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 What tool do you use to remove the crystal and bezel with? On a fiddy, that is. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bignasty Posted May 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 What tool do you use to remove the crystal and bezel with? On a fiddy, that is. Thanks Bezel pops off with a sharp knife (very sharp is better) Crystal can be popped out from the back. Or in this case picked out with a set of pliers and some good thick rubber gloves. This one was broken when I got it so I just had to pull out the remains. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
