Review: Budget Crystal Presses - Lever Press vs Screw Press
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лип 2020
- In a "Take 2" from the first video, SW Watchmods compares the two most common types of budget crystal (and bezel) press. The lever press versus the screw mechanism-type of press. Note, this review is concerned with ** budget ** (value) versions of these presses which typically range from 16 GBP to approximately 60 GBP mark. Hopefully the second take of this review comes across as a sharper, to-the-point review of the two presses.

I had a cheap lever style. I bought a sapphire Crystal for my seiko turtle and unfortunately due to the curve of the case I couldn’t get the case to sit flat and still while I pressed down. As soon as I thought I had it, the handle broke and my Crystal is ever so slightly crooked in the case. My hand pressed into the broken metal and caused a scratch in my hand that drew blood. Lol. It’s only by a millimeter but it bothers me because I’m trying to be as precise as possible with my modding. I threw it away and will probably end up getting a screw down version for a slow and steady pressing action.
This really helped, Thank you.
Very useful! Thanks.
Could you make a video about the size of cases, chapter rings, movements and dials? Can be little tricky to figure out as a newbie
What is the make of the red screw in one?
Super helpful
Having bought and used the budget lever type, I can say that they are terrible.
Mine had the brass screw in inserts and basically pushed the brass threaded collet through the front of the crystal.
Bang, broken a new crystal.
Best place for these is in the recycle bin.
Hi ja just watched your video very informative could you possibly send link to where you purchased both of your presses as im just starting out in modding many thanks Andy Q
Hi Andrew, the lever came from Cousins UK... And the screw came from amazon. You can get them both from Cousins though. Their budget range is very reliable.
@@swmods5058 Thanks for the info 👍
Goodvideo
I paid 3 bucks on one from china with shipping and pieces worked fine for my new saphire glass
U can use a drill press if u have one...just saying...
I wonder what you mean by "crystal."
The crystal is the glass on the face of the watch.
im like 100, i am very cool
Buy a good Seiko made crystal press.
Where u get one
I can’t find any for sale.
You failed to demonstrate the action in each. You basically just stood in front of the camera and ran your mouth. Didn't learn anything from this. Thumb down.
damn dude its pretty clear from looking at each thing how it works
