Thanks Michael!

Nice to have you back!!

[@tadeubotelho4410]

Your video was very valuable to me. I'm installing a new glass on a watch with a case very similar to the watch in your video. I noticed that this watch of yours does not have a bezel. Is it common for watches without a bezel or is this watch missing the bezel? I wish you much success on your channel and happiness with your children. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

fijn dat je weer terug bent!!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Bedankt Mike! Leuk om te zien dat je er ook nog bent :-)

[@foolsgold39]

Nice clear instructions thankyou! I'm in need of advice, I have a citizen eagle 7 with plexiglass domed crystal that has a chapter ring pushed into the plexiglass! Would I be right in thinking the chapter ring acts as the tension ring ?

Welcome back!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks!

Great to see you back after 2 years. Where have you been?

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello, same for me. You will notice when you watch the video :-)

[@dazza1976]

@@therealwatchdoctor Congratulations and I'm glad you're back. Looking forward to your future videos.

[@prxrb]

What size should the crystal be, relative to the case opening, if using a tension ring crystal? In your example, it seems like the case maybe had a 31mm opening? So you used a 31.1mm crystal with tension ring (0.1mm oversized to generate tension), or a 31.3mm crystal without tension ring (0.3mm oversized to generate tension)? Is this correct?

[@patrickarellano4823]

The press that you use? What is it called? The presses I see online doesn’t have the fitting that bends the plexiglass

[@harshitprakashkishnani]

Hello Doc, Can you please tell me what is that tool called which you used to fit the acrylic crystal ?

[@AaronS11979]

I tried doing this (with albeit a cheaper press) and it cracked the acrylic crystal. Chipped a corner off actually. Ugh. I'm going to try the claw tool shown in the beginning next.

[@johngamboa999]

👍❤️

[@ErnieGoldman]

Very good video. However, watch crystals are made of lucite, not plexiglas

[@joebroderi]

You did not show the last bit fitting the glass with tension ring!

[@phillipmaciver3226]

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Steve :-)

PS. While I can call myself an eye doctor I am nowhere near the standard of being called a watch doctor! For one thing I do my watch work using a Zeiss surgical microscope which works well.
