🔧 What it does & how to use
This press is used to fit watch glass crystals and close watch case backs. Pressure is applied by turning the top wheel, giving you precise, controlled force at the bench — unlike lever-type presses, where it's easy to apply too much force too quickly and crack a glass. It suits both hobbyists and professional repairers working on a range of case and crystal sizes.
- Select a die: choose the nylon die from the set of 12 that matches the diameter of the crystal or case back you're fitting.
- Position the work: place the watch case or crystal centrally on the base of the press.
- Fit the die: position the matching die on top, aligned with the case or crystal.
- Apply pressure: turn the top wheel slowly and evenly to press the crystal or case back into place.
- Check the fit: stop turning once the crystal is seated or the case back is closed, and inspect for a secure, even fit before releasing pressure.
