If nothing else - it will be an excuse to buy yourself a bunch of new tools.So, I've watched just enough watch repair videos to be dumb enough to think I should replace the broken crystal on one of my watches myself.
Dude, I was at checkout and saw shipping was $28!!!! Do you know how light watch tools are??? Friggin frackin. I'll just leave my cart like that until I see if I actually get the crystal out as none of the stuff I was buying was actually "needed" to do this.If nothing else - it will be an excuse to buy yourself a bunch of new tools.

Maybe. This watch has two movements in it. To pull one of the crowns out I had to remove the parts you see there. More was removed than I thought with two screws. I put the odds of getting it back the right way at about 15%
The problem is you that you probably didn’t invest in the finger cots. Every video I’ve watched on watch repair it the dude is wearing some of these…Maybe. This watch has two movements in it.

Always use protection RichOoh! Teeny tiny finger condoms!
You can do it. I have confidence in you.... Just remember to take pictures or videos when you are taking them apart and then if you get stuck you can go back and look at the pics or videos. There are also plenty of guides for the different movements online that you can look at and if you really get stuck let me know. I might be able to help you out if I can.Maybe.

Okay, I was just outbid. Moving on!Pulled another @Scuttlesoap and placed a bid out of a place of stress and retail therapy. Had to even check to make sure it wasn't over retail! It will be okay, but I certainly wouldn't mind if someone came along in a few days and took it from me.
