madasboot Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Dear fellow members, I bought a vintage 3646 California Dial from River two weeks ago. This one is a very nice built model (even the dial looks nice), however the crystal is of very poor quality. I am doing some mods on the watch and I would like to source a thick plexiglass crystal to replace the one it came with. All my efforts on finding one have been in vain so far... Can anybody help me sourcing one? best regards, marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested in both the crystal and the dial. However, I would also really like a good crystal for my vintage with cal dial. Perhaps enough will respond to make it a workable project.

Finepics Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I would be interested in both the crystal and the dial. However, I would also really like a good crystal for my vintage with cal dial. Perhaps enough will respond to make it a workable project. I am doing the crystals for this watch. Just done another 2 this week for my own projects. I get them specially made from optical plastic (not perspex but very similar) and then hand finish them to create a curved edge (they come with a sharp edge when they are made). To do it I need to have the existing crystal as my maker needs to set his machine by it. Cost is £85 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
