Speedy Crystals

[dbane883]

I'd like to replace the sapphire crystal on my 9 y.o. Speedmaster with a domed hesalite crystal. It looks to be 40mm in diameter. Can anyone recommend what brand and size I need?

Sternkreuz HW perhaps??

That looks like the old ST19 version I used to have. If it's the same as mine, you'll need one of these from Cousins UK:

There is a lot of information about swapping crystals in the Speedmaster sticky at the top of the page. This will be how it looks once installed:

Thks. Yes, it's the ST19 version, appreciate the info.

And I still have Five of Club's old ST19 Speedy with domed Hesalite, and I love that watch.

I really love the look and feel of mine. I have a Gen Omega SMP crono, and hardly wear it compared to this speedy rep. The bracelet feels just as comfortable. But due to the glaring issue of the crystal, its just gather dust. It's also gathering due to the fact that I've bought 6 watches in the past two months, but that's another issue
