Watch guys? New crystal price?

[MikePotts]

I've managed to crack the glass on my old (1953) Omega Seamaster. Any idea how much a new one should cost me, installed?

It's been decades since I last had a crystal on a watch replaced. Check here: https://omegaforums.net/forums/vintage-omega-watches-help-discussion-and-advice.23/

I did a quick search and it seems it needs an estimate to get it replaced. Must be expensive.

And, where do you take it to be done correctly.

I believe Omega won't just replace the glass, they insist on doing a full service - and it ain't worth that.
I'm going to swing it by Segner's in Fredericksburg on Monday and see how much he wants to do it

You could always mail it to me for safekeeping then...

I think any kind of actual watch store can replace that crystal for you. Not the jewelry stand at Walmart, but everywhere else, yeah.

Talk to David at Throckmorton's in Austin. He cut his teeth at the Omega repair center.
