Edge Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Right guys as per the help I received last time I have purchased a crystal press to put the retaining ring back on, however I don't seem to have the correct size dies to do the job. Can anyone tell the the apropriate size for 1680 and also where they got them. If you use something alternative please enlighten me and point me in the right direction. All help appreciated.

ubiquitous Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 You already know my answer on the subject... But... I can go and measure the diameter of the case to let you know what size it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 My Omega case has an opening for the caseback/movement that is right at 32mm in diameter. This fits just right around my vintage Tropic crystals (1680, 1665, 6263, etc)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Thanks what depth do you go down? It's the depth that is killing me I think. I think the cyclops is the bit getting in the way with the dies, cos they aren't hollow like the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 My case has at least 8mm of depth to allow for the crystal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
