Installing a Submariner 1680 PIP?

I sourced an old original pip. I heard they just pop in. Should I use glue or just pressure to hold it in?

In principle, glue should not be needed.

I use glue on my pip installs. At around $300 a pip, I'm not taking any chances on it coming out - even though it is non functional and strictly for looks.
