Hi All,

I left my watch on the worktop (stupid) and my wife knocked it off onto the floor. By some miracle, the face, crystal and movement is perfectly fine and it is still keeping time. HOWEVER....

The glass on the back of the case fell out.

Does anyone know how I go about sorting this out? I would have thought it was a press fit, however it seems that the glass is actually smaller than the recess...

Ideas welcome..

It will be pressfit, but you'll need a friendly watchmaker with a case vice to doit.

there should be as gasket as well, to hold it in i beleive (possibly white in color), which could be in the case.
If not, fortunately Zenith have decent parts supply for watchmakers smile

That'd make sense, thanks!

I have had a search for a gasket, but can't see one for the life of me. It's taking everything I have not to give in to my tinkerer's mentality and take the case back off to work it out.

That, and someone crashed into my parked car last night so the short term punches to the fact are getting painful!
