Reservation list for 42 mm(5GPO) Sunnydale PO crystals

Ok cool. I suppose I should use the search function one day

Can you put me on the list for one? Looks great!

I think someone should put together a tutorial on how to do the crystal swap properly with simple tools. I've never taken apart a PO before and it would be helpful I would imagine.

This tutorial by Olworthers is exactly the same, just follow the steps. Just to note, it is recommended to have at least a cheap crystal presser, like the $15 one that can be bought on ebay will do fine. Many have managed to press a PO crystal (they are not the most tight of crystals) by hand, or against a table edge or kneecap etc, but it is probably better to have at least something that will ensure even pressure all over to secure water-tightness. Getting the original crystal out is easy, just pop it out with the thumb. Keeping finger prints and other craap such as oils and dust off the PO crystals is harder than actually installing them.

And R2 just found the newer eta date wheel is available! (the ones look like 11 not like l l) :bounce:

Nice Moer info on this newer datewheel, been looking for these. Ordered a ton of stuff from cousins to finish off some mods last week and forgot all dws! Sods law, maybe now it was fate

Thanks for searching this! I have a pressure air bottle and it has helped me to get off all the dust (opened my BP last night once again and now it is clean ). Of course rodico will help to get off the smallest particles too.

I would recommend to get a cheap crystal presser too, I installed 15-20 crystals before coating and they were just a bit tad tighter than the original rep crystal that was pretty loose on my watch.

Just remember to be careful with the gasket.

I think so too If I had known I would have offered you my 42 mm PO since I only bought it to have good pictures of the crystals. Maybe you are not inside EU, I cannot remember.

Some eye candy for you while waiting: my 3717 coated along with those PO crystals...

I kinda like it :wub:
