thogaa Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 As above. My gen Omega speedmaster 861 has a broken hexalite plastic glass. Who offers replacement without it costing an arm and a leg? My local AD won't replace without complete overhaul even though he did that just 6 months ago That's his own recipy for never selling another watch or service to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Can you help us here with some dimensions, or an Omega Part# no.? I probably have an aftermarket here that would do the job...if you want a gen, you will need to hunt one up, probably from ebay. I do however have access to some Omega parts, but they don't come cheap! Part number would be great!

fijikid Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Otto Frei or Frei & Borel or whatever they call it has the Omega replacement crystal. As bwhitesox said, it's pretty straightforward. I've used the end of a full-size maglite flashlite as a bezel ring installer in a pinch and it works the charm. Remove battery cap and invert, remove battery spring and the screwed end is the same size as many bezels & crystal retaining rings - push down with palm of hand. Careful not to mess up bezel insert!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great find I've ordered it and will have a go at replacing it when it arrives. Cheers Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
