Does anyone out there press upper jewels? "Click" to Login or Register

I have a shattered upper escape jewel in a Waltham model 1908 grade 640...

I think I can save this watch if I can find someone to press in a new jewel.

The jewel on the right is supposed to look like the jewel on the left... the frosty appearance is about a gazillion crystalline cracks. I'm amazed it hasn't just fallen out in a pile of dust.

It looks to be pressed in as I see no screws unless the are two in the back. If you have a staking set it may be all you need except for the jewel itself. I'll look and see. 16s or 18s?

If you still need this contact me. I have the tooling and correct jewels. In fact I think I have the correct one preset in the chaton.
