I have a crystal on order...do I need a crystal press to install it? Also I need an new case back gasket. Anyone know what size gasket this watch takes.

Nice clean Autowind Leader you have there. I'm wearing mine quite often and when not in use it is on a watch winder. It has been running permanently without any problems for two years now.

I recall the crystal is kept in place by a tension ring which would mean you need a crystal press, but not sure anymore. I see you have opened the case so you should be able to verify yourself if there is a chrome tension ring on the inside.

For the gasket dimension you should measure the diameter of the threaded ring of the case back. This is the inner diameter for the gasket. The outer gasket diameter should not exceed the outer diameter of the case back.

Hope this helps
