Hi watch fam. Does anybody know if there is a tutorial on how to epoxy the crystal of a Breitling super avenger v3 to the case? Any tips on how to do it or is it better to send it to some of our bidders to do it? Thanks in advance

I don't. If you use epoxy and you break a crystal the case is FUBAR. What you need is UV curing adhesive commonly called UV glue. Loctite make it s well as many other companies.

If you make sure there's a good enough coating on the crystal and the case, leaving no bubbles in the glue it should work fine. Then you only have to worry about the crown/caseback or He Valve.
