No they don't - this one is no longer available...some other reduction rings are available but not this specific one.

As I suggested, look on eBay.

With 3-d printer so popular this days? Someone would make some tools and sell? I look from time to time on Ebay but i haven't seen one for ages?

Please go head and get this done - I'm sure others would benefit from your work and be willing to purchase from you.

I have an after market version of this tool. If anyone has the ability to reproduce it either by 3d printer or machine shop, I would be willing to lend it to you so that some copies can be made. I live in the U.S.

Bump. Did anyone get these tools 3D printed? Would love some plans if so...

I had a tool made myself. It required some alu piping and a lathe.
It was not perfect so I did not do more to it.
The problem is that it is very easy to crack the edges of the crystal when installing it.
This is loads of money out the window.
Especially if the case has been polished/reshaped this is a real PITA.
Cheers

I think lathe work on a metal piece would be preferable to a 3D plastic ring.
The finishing of 3D printed objects are not always that nice.

The ID of these rings needs to be pretty much a mirror finish, so I agree that this is a machining project in metal, rather than some 3D printed plastic thing. Material also needs to be fairly rigid to work well.

Tool for this is obsolete, is what I found.

I made a tool similar to above from the thick plastic movement holders on ebay for next to nothing. Nice and smooth inside, not damaging gasket. Fine layer of silicone, not liberally as advised. Card cut out to push the glass to form a lip.

Worked a treat and glass is in first time, with no problems.

Found this old post really helpful as I plan to replace my Mark II crystal.

May I ask @Speedy04 what kind of movement holder you used as I can't really find anything suitable at 36mm or 37mm on eBay now?

Thanks!
