Replacing Daytona crystal advice

[WatchaholicMallorca]

Hi guys,
This thread is targeted towards the modders here on the forum.
after cracking my crystal I purchased a new crystal and a crystal press from amazon.

i tried using a YouTube tutorial from a seiko to reinstall the new crystal, but I can’t get it to work, I already broke a gasket trying and failing so before I wreck the next one I ask for advice from you guys

My question is do I fit the gasket to the crystal and then push down or fit the gasket inside the bezel and push the crystal in to it?

if any modders could take the time to send me an explanation I’d be very grateful!

Thanks in advance!

What I do is that I install the gasket and the crystal first, then I press the bezel in

Great thank you, I tried this the first time and the gasket misshaped and ultimately broke. Will try again with the next one.
thanks!

Did the gasket sit well?

The movement and dial are currently sitting in the watch, is it possible to install it with that on? I really don’t have the nowhow to remove it. I bought the press as I thought i only had to install it to the loose bezel

Forget that... I’ve since fitted the crystal now on to the bezel, should I stick the press to this as well?

Now you can press the bezel in

But your crystal looks to sit a bit high because of the gasket

All done thanks mate!
