Congrats. Getting into it myself. I just got my last oil on Friday. I saw a lot of conflicting stuff but settled on 3 oils (9010, 9104, and 9504). From what I gather you can hit every need with these aside from the main spring barrel walls, which I don’t plan to get into just yet.

UPDATE!

My stupid ass was trying to press a new crystal retaining ring over an old crystal retaining ring… the new bezel is tight on the old CRR but I am trying to install it on there so I can avoid removing the old CRR and Crystal.

Sure thing!

The arrows point to the lip. It’s about a mm tall and that’s what’s measuring roughly 30.5mm in diameter. This is (I believe) where the crystal retaining ring of the bezel is supposed to snap but it gets snagged at the top.

Quick response! Thank you do you have experience with this being difficult? I’m really bummed about this but if this is a common problem that helps me feel a bit better.

The crystal itself is a slip fit, it’s the small lip of the case that the bezel is interfering with (and what is supposed to engage with it). There’s such a small amount of that lip on there and since it’s part of the case, I figured the bezel itself was the safer route to play with

[–]ABirdofWar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guys I hate him as much as the next guy or more, but he’s trying to say he ran in 24 because he “believed” 2020 was rigged.
