··Omega Qualified WatchmakerSince someone pulled up this necro-thread anyway, I'll ask a question.
Is these any particular reason why neither watchmaker opted to use a crystal puller?
Pullers are useless for sapphire, but should work on haselite just fine. In fact, I have used the to compress and drop in new acrylic Crystal's when I didn't have the right press die. Is this an option given geometry of the bezel? I've never had a speedmaster apart.
Thanks.
The claw style crystal removers are not meant to be used on acrylic crystals that have tension rings - they are only for crystals that don't use tensions rings.
There are a few very brand and watch specific specialized versions that do work with tension rings, but a different tool is required for each size, and they don't use a multitude of claws, but larger segments (Omega's tool 107 for example).
