Hey gang! Today we're going to watch me fumble around and show you how I just modded my SKX007. This was one of the more difficult ones but not that I've done it, it'll be no problem. Beauty shots from 17:45. There will be some nice pictures of it on Instagram in the coming days. Check out @minitwatch!
Things to know: This video is obviously long as there's more going on than just a crystal swap. I left it as such so people can see how a noob like me learns what and what not to do. If you're wondering about that low-pitched hum, my quarters are near the warp drive.
The crystal and the bezel are from http://crystaltimes.net. The insert, I found on ebay here: tinyurl.com/zbpma9s
Things you'll need if you want to attempt this: (affiliate links)

These crystals (crystal times) are high quality and should meet or exceed OEM pressure test specs if properly installed.
To achieve this, be sure to CENTER your crystal on the case before pressing and apply just a little pressure to make sure it is going in uniformly. Apply a little more pressure and a little more all the while ensuring it goes in perfectly. Failure to do so may damage/destroy the crystal gasket.

I will however take responsibility for awesomeness and super happy funtime smiles that you may get after doing such mods using things you've seen here. Fo sho!

The audio tracks: "Funky Logo" ,"Fashion Presentation" and "Street Fashion" were purchased by me via Audio Jungle (envato). I have full rights to utilize this track for monetized videos on this project (channel). The piano track "Desler's Realization" was composed and played by me one lonely night while it was raining and I had a lovely box of Chicken In a Biscuit by my side. Oh how I miss that box of lovely crackers.
