Are 16610 sub crystals glued in or only pressed in?

[Classique Breguet]

Just curious how these crystals are fixed in place.

Thank you in advance for all replies.

Pressed into a hytril gasket and a metal retainer ring that holds it together, which has a rubber gasket to seal the possible leak between the ring and the case.

Excellent,

Thank you for the quick response :)

How about the cyclops? Is it glued in?

Yep. From midcase : gasket over rehaut, crystal into gasket, tension ring pressed over it all.


Removing the tension ring for crystal swaps is a different story.

Correct.

I recently changed all gaskets in a Deepsea and tested it to 3900m, I needed the Rolex guide because of all the gaskets and tools... Almost rocket science lol
