Does Anyone Have A Kronoglass Cutting Machine?

[NigelNorski]

Or know where I can have a custom made crystal here in the UK...?

Hi Nigel,

 

Those are expensive I believe. There use to be an alternative -- price wise -- with Pearl but I have never ordered from them and have no experience with the actual equipment. Also, some vendors will locate the crystal you need by case number, etc...which might be a little more than regular glass but not as much as a complete crystal equipment.

 

In any case, maybe some other member has a better idea/information.

 

Cheers

Hi Bob, I have tried all the usual suspects to locate a crystal for my James Bond 357-5040 Seiko.... all tell me it is no more alas.... so unless there is one sitting in a drawer somewhere I will need to get one made...  hopefully find one soon.

Nice, a Bond Seiko watch! I haven't seen one for ages! Good luck with the repair and part search...and post a picture of the outcome Nigel. That's a nice watch to have a picture of!

Does that list include schillachi61 on the bay? Bought a NOS acrylic crystal for my 7019-5000 from him when no one else had one.

I have used these in the past for odd bits of several makes.
