There are a few IWC crystals on eBay, but not for your watch. I would try contacting one of the sellers to see if they can source one. Maybe one of the crystals may fit...not sure of the size.

Thank you shaidx for the case set!!! While I was swapping the movement over I did the power reserve mod to the 7ish position and oiled the rotor.

 

[broady06811]

After the case swap.. She's got a new lease on life!!!! I was tempted to try the date wheel mod but after research didn't want to break it again

I wouldn't worry about the DW mod..>>

Only maybe 16 people on the entire planet have any Idea what IWC stands for to begin with, and how many of THEM do you suppose know the exact configuration of the date wheel on yours...???
I have been wearing a BP that is outrageously incorrect in many ways for over a year, on and off, and NOBODY give even the tiniest $hit about it!!
But....A broken crystal would probably get noticed!!:thinking::thinking:
