One last thing, on the watch the second hand is the lower sub-dial, the large second hand is a chronograph. Thank you to everyone that took the time to give advice, very much appreciated. Well guys, I took the risk with the air technique, but also bore in mind Marc's guidance, so made sure I was as delicate as possible.Ĭrystal came out with no damage and I was able to fully reassemble the watch. I suspect that the crystal is press fit into the case. There also seems to be no bezel on the watch, the case is one piece with no distinguishable seem where a bezel will attach. The crystal is domed glass, apparently sapphire. I am probably wrong about this, but raise the possibility as it's worth being sure to avoid problems. If this is the case then I suspect that suggestion to check that the bezel is removable is your best way forward. Pushing a glass crystal out using direct contact on the back of the glass, or blowing it out using air could prove disasterous as there is a strong possibility that it will shatter. Looks just like the domed acrylic but very much more scratch resistant, and brittle. However, I have seen an increasing number of domed glass crystals appearing on this type of watch. It looks like it may be acrylic because it is domed, just like acrylic crystals are, in which case all of the above are viable solutions. At the risk of sounding silly, is it an acrylic crystal or a glass crystal.
