Foggy 127? Help!

hi guys - would love some advice (or direction to DIY threads on this topic).

i have a 127, not one of the more fancy versions but i'm content with it.
after about 3 weeks the crystal popped - i went ahead and bought another mineral crystal as I didn't feel like popping $75 down on the sapphire.

anyhow, i managed to replace the crystal by myself without a press (i boiled the case to expand it a bit, and got the crystal in before it contracted back to normal).

the other day i went outside and it was foggy under the glass - which i can't think is good. i'm sure i need to seal something - i just don't know what, or how, or if i need to redo the crystal, etc.

HELP!

I would bet you crystal gasket is ruined. Take it to a real watchsmith and have the gasket replaced and crystal reseated.
