Thank you. I used this case for a eta 2891-a9 movement. Hopefully i can put it in a proper case eventually.
Being the case is unknown, do I measure the bezel groove diameter or crystal diameter?
Seems odd that none of the first three repairers could intuit that if the crystal was shaped the correct gasket would be too. Instead they kept trying to use a round gasket, I suppose because they didn't have access to the genuine Omega gasket. But where did the unending supply of crystals come from?
I don't think you are supposed to use the 4266 on a crystal with a tension ring. You will likely damage the replacement crystal, and also not be able to install it successfully. The claws won't be able to reduce the diameter of the crystal due to the tension ring pushing against it.
You would need to press it out and in using a regular press.
Hi, thank you
I thought that might be an issue fitting the new crystal, but you seem to be saying I should remove the old crystal by using a press,
and fit the new one by using a press?
Would a basic press do it, or should it be a specific kind of press?
Cheers!
Yes, they press in, so they press out. Alternately, you can knock the crystal out, but you would need to protect it if you plan to use it again.
