Some advice on 253 Crystals

[fishgodeep]

Hi

I have a friend with a nice ETA 7750 253 and his crystal has smashed for the 2nd time...

What are the options for replacements , I understand the Asian models are only supplied with mineral glass now and recall a post last year mentioning an option available from Cousins UK ?

Appreciate any advice / assistance or a spare crystal if any one has one ?

Cheers

Meh

Good luck finding one of these, I tried for months before buying a 2nd hand box of mixed crystals from the bay - ok, not too gen like but at least I can now wear the watch .

The only other option is from the original dealer.

Cousins don't keep much in sapphire but they do a 40mm HWS acrylic that should fit if you're friend is really stuck, I just tried one on a mini fiddy case from a 233 and it fits.

There are some sapphires out there, the recent 233 release was available with sapphire, I have one here. Do you have a dealer who is friendly regarding parts supply? If you're stuck drop me a line.

I remember the diameter is a little bit more than 37mm. but NOT 40MM.

Pwc on repgeek said he could get them for $200

In sapphire he said be did a small run as a special request

Think he called it the 212 crystal but I believe the crystal is identical on these 2 models

Pricey I know but it may be your only option
