Default Watch Crystal Magnifier Removal?

You can definitely get a new crystal installed. $35 at my shop.
The magnifier is probably on with a UV-setting cement. I'm unaware of a
solvent for the stuff.


We used to remove sapphire bonded to glass with heat. Set the crystal on a hot
plate and slowly increase the temperature while checking the bonding. If the
crystal is sealed to the watch works, you probably don't want to do this.
