How to remove and replace an acrylic crystal using a Bergeon No.6400 crystal lift. Removal is fairly straight forward using this tool, however putting a new crystal into the case can be tricky as you have to take note of the appropriate depth required to make sure the crystal sits deep enough in the case. The spacer provided with the Bergeon No.6400 (No. 4266) is quite shallow and isn't deep enough for the vintage Timex case I was using in this example. Making note of the depth will make the replacement process easier.
