usually it need chang one watchcase.

 

[artompkins]

Any suggestions? Anybody?

 

[Rocketeer]

Were you after sapphire or mineral?

 

[artompkins]

A sapphire one if it could be hadbut I will take what I can get.

what is the inner diameter of the bezel? i just ordered a bunch of crystals for my 47mm, i had to do a minimum order. if it is 39.5mm then you are in luck.

 

[Rocketeer]

The 253 uses the 'Mini Fiddy' case.
Sapphire for that will be mega expensive because of the dome but mineral is available.

When I ordered an acrylic replacement for my mini-Fiddy fantasy watch from CousinsUK, I believe I ordered a 35.7mm diameter crystal.

I wish I woulda kept this watch....

Where do I look to get one?

 

[Rocketeer]

Any good dealer who supplies the Regatta should supply a crystal for you.

 

[watchoholic]

did you find a crystal yet?

 

[artompkins]

No. Not yet. I have asked around but no one seems to have one.

If you want a plexi...

I have seen no real sapphire crystals for the 212/253/Mini-Fiddy. I think there was one version that was advertised as real sapphire, but there was some doubt as to the validity of that claim.

So, a plexi or another mineral crystal are probably your only two options.

 

[Slan9e]

Thanks for answering!
I ordered a 253 with a Synthetic Sapphire crystal (mineral?) but i'd loved to find a real saphire one..
anyway bump for finding one yet.. :?

 

[hooligan]

Yep, synthetic sapphire is rep dealer speak for mineral.

We've tried and tried to get dealers to change this description, but very few have. It's intentionally misleading, IMO.

 

[probemax]

So anyone found the crystal?
Mine also broken. sigh.

We went in halfs on a watch, you may want to try Davidsen, he may be able to get ya one. So how did yours break?
