Help! Anyone remove an AP crsytal

[rogerthat]

I can't get this bugger out.

Do you need to remove the bezel screws or something, I even tried that but they don't seem to budge and I don't want to strip/scratch them.

I put a good amount of pressure with my thumb and with a crystal press and the crystal will not pop up.

Every other crystal I have done this too pops right out.

Anyone out there remove their AP Roo crystal?

Need advise,

I removed my AP crystal without any problems using a watch press. Are u pushing from inside the case?

my model was the paris AP ROO chrono.

Yes, have the caseback and movement removed and I am pushing from the inside.

Won't budge, if you got it out this same way without touching any of the outside bezel screws please conirm and I will get back to pushing and push unitl something happens.

Model is the White Thames AP ROO

Cheers,

If this is the sec at 9 version... I would just keep on pushing...screws are fakes and don't do anything functional. Are you using the correct die size on the press?

good luck.

But if it is the sec @ 12 then you need to remove the front bezel and then push it out the opposite direction of what your pushing now...
