Well the crystal bezel is taken off with a bezel lifting tool the crystal usually comes off with it then you separate the 2 pieces if sapphire you replace the nylon gasket align the cyclop to the date window place the bezel on top and push on with a crystal press. If acrylic no gasket but the same procedure no pics but the process takes a few minutes for a professional and if not done correctly bad things happen. Rik the watchmaker
