Change crystal on Speedmaster 176.0012

Philsyd · Apr 17, 2023

Hi all,

Is a watch press enough to change a crystal on a speedmaster mark 4.5? I am going to order a new crystal with a gasket but can't find any detailed instructions on removing and installing the crystal.

Cheers,

Philippe

Yes, it uses a typical hard plastic crystal gasket, so a good press and set of dies is all that is needed.

You should use a new gasket if possible - part number is 098EG0028.

Thanks Archer, do you know the part number for the crown tube please?
