  • In this video I demonstrate the Bergeon No 5500 crystal press by fitting a new armoured glass to a Vostok Amphibian Albatross Radio Room watch case. For a very interesting discussion about crystal presses please visit watchrepairtalk.com by clicking the following link:

    Great job. Nothing like having quality tools to do a very special job. Well done Sir. If you are worried about scratching the Crystal try putting a plastic (poly) bay between the press die and the Crystal.
    Cheers

      Thank you Sir, and I’ll remember about the plastic bag the next time I replace a crystal!

    I think youre supposed to place some kind of cloth between the glass and press die to avoid breaking the crystal--???

      Good point @yambo59. What you can do is place a piece of plastic between the crystal and the die. It will prevent the crystal from getting scratched. However, there’s no risk you’ll break the crystal if you don’t.

    I arrive late, where do you find a crystal replacement for a Vostok 32 case (like the one of this Amphibia)?
    I have two 32 Soviet Amphibia (snipers) in need of a new crystal (one has a Kommandirskie one, which has a totally different curve and results lower, the other one has a deformed crystal)
    Are the ones for modern Amphibia cases the same? The diameter seems to coincide.

    Where do you find replacement crystal for the junior 2409 movement?

    you were placing the watch wrong. On the cheap Chinese made tool you need to place the watch face down. Put the crystal on the bottom plate. Place the watch case above the crystal and press the case down towards the crystal.

      I don't think these cheap Chinese crystal presses are designed to be operated as you describe, but I like your thinking and it could very well have solved my problem. A good watch repairer can often solve problems by thinking differently as you do here, so thanks for your input!

      @@VWatchie The cheap Chinese presses are designed to operate exactly as tech29X described. I have one that I've used for years and the instructions are clear in how to operated the device.

      Still won't make the dice flat, though?
