fishgodeep Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 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 FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyrussel Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 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. RR Hi I have a friend with a nice ETA 7750 253 and his crystal has smashed for the 2nd time...

Rocketeer Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 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.

rogerthat Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 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 Cheers M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
