Viz,

Maybe like $10 if that. Its a piece of cake to do. All kidding aside if youre comfortable sending a member the watch, just about anyone will do it for you.

ok,thanks for the info.

That spec of dust is driving me nuts!!!!

BTW, Plan B would be to remove the caseback, remove the movement and dial, clean off the back of the crystal and the speck of dust and reinstall the movement and dial and put the caseback back on. This is a 5 minute chore.

If you don't have a friendly watchmaker, it might be worth as much as $25. I would think that removing the movement and cleaning the spec of dust might be a safer alternative to replacing the crystal- sometimes watchmakers don't do well with reps and you never know when something might go amiss. KISS! Oh, that's an old army term here in the US- Keep It Simple Stupid.
