OMEGA Reduction Ring - Part No. 9028

WTB = "Wanted To Buy" but could just as easily mean "Wanted To Borrow" in this case. (happy either way!)

I'm looking to buy/Borrow a Reduction ring/Crystal tool (9028 photo below) for a Speedmaster Mkii . I have a new crystal on the way but understand it is virtually impossible to press in the case with it's gasket without the tool shown below. I have been on the look-out for a while through all the usual channels and thought I had one secured but it dropped through at the last minute. I'm hoping someone in the UK has one they can loan me (or sell) to get the job done. Of course I will cover all postage costs and any hire cost if required. (Photos below courtesy of previous OF posts supplied mainly by @Archer - many thanks). Please drop me a PM if you can help

PS I know some people have made their own "Heath Robinson" versions with varied levels of success but I'd like to think that was an absolute last resort




And a photo of my Speedmaster Mkii Racing for good measure

Just a little bump. Hope someone can assist

I have added "Found" to the title but for clarity I have made my own tool and successfully changed the crystal myself. If anyone needs information regarding the mechanics of this then drop me a PM

Finished watch just to show 😀
