Omega 198.002 crystal remove/replace process and tools

PWR_family · Aug 19, 2020

I have two cases for an Omega 198.002 [I think they call it "THE CONE"] with terribly scratched crystals.

I was going to attempt to remove and replace the crystal with a imitation part as Omega crystals seem impossible to find

Wondering what tools are required to R/R the glass and and hints you might provide

Thanks in advance

a small hand press has successfully removed crystal for this watch. Ordered a generic replacement and assume I can hand press it back in!

Yes it will press back in , I'd of gone for the genuine omega one personally but that's just me , probably a bit more just to get an omega logo in the centre of the crystal but it's a nice finishing touch imo

I would LOVE to have fitted a genuine Omega crystal. Cant find the darn things anywhere!
