    Wristwatch rear cover glass repair

    I finally found a gasket and crystal that I could make work. It was a hair loose, not quite a friction fit, so I used G-S Hypo Cement from Esslingers to seal it and lock everything in. Thanks for all the help from everyone.

    Wristwatch rear cover glass repair

    I can't seem to find a gasket that fits this back cover. I'm guessing that it is a Hytrel I-ring type. The original glass measured 40mm x 1.2mm thick. The original gasket is in bad shape, it's all distorted and out of round. There's no way to press a new crystal into it. The original gasket wall...

    Wristwatch rear cover glass repair

    I found one there, it was a hair big so I sandeded it down a little to get it to fit. It's not exactly round anymore so I used some of the G-S crystal cement to take up the gaps and keep it more sealed. The watch isn't waterproof anyway, so not a huge deal at the moment. This movement was...

    Baume & Mercier wristwatch battery replacement

    After changing the battery, I tried to use a brand new bergeron rubber ball opener and it wouldn't even budge the back, but I think it will work on watches on which the back is not so tight. My watch takes a lot of pressure with the horotec opener with the correct die, both in opening and...

    Baume & Mercier wristwatch battery replacement

    I have a Baume & Mercier men's watch that I inherited from my father. I got tired of paying $90 or so every time it needs a new battery so I purchased a Horotec MSA 07.320 mini press. I have two dies, one is w No. 2 - 30mm and a No. 3 - 34mm. It seems like the No. 2 fits the back properly, but...

    Baume & Mercier Watch back removal

    No, I don't have a press. I can see why one is needed though.

    Baume & Mercier Watch back removal

    I have this B&M watch that needs a new battery but I can't get the back off. I bought the tool from CousinsUK, but I can't budge the back. Is there a trick to this watch? Thanks!
