Timex Marlin from the 70s

[YH94]

Hi there. New to this forum. 

I lost the crystal on my marlin a while back and finally found some time to start looking for a replacement.

Would appreciate if someone could guide me on where I could get one and also maybe how to fit it. 

Attached a picture for reference.

Many thanks  

Regards

welcome to the forum,     You will need to measure the crystal  6  to 12  and  nine to 3  and purchase a generic crystal fro the likes of cousins uk  assuming you are in the UK, or   esslingers, jules borel in America.

Hi. Appreciate the reply. 

that's the issue, I don't have the crystal to get the exact measurements.

Hoping someone could send the exact link to the right crystal

I believe the size is 30.4 MM or 30.6MM.

Hi JerseyMo. Thank you for the reply.

Seems like you're a subject matter expert when it comes to Timex watches. 

Which would be a better bet? the 30.4 or 30.6? 

I see that there are some options in terms how low/high the dome of the crystal from the websites that @watchweasol shared. 

What would make it closest to the original crystal?

Nice piece. Those acrylic crystals actually polish up very well with various grades of sandpaper and polishing compound...

True but he says in the first post that it’s lost
