Hi all,

I have been trying to locate a new glass for this watch and have spent hours and hours but I am no nearer.  I have scoured Cousins Lists, Ebay, and various web sites over and over and tried to search by size etc.
 
Can't seem to find anyone who has serviced this watch on Youtube either.

This watch also has a gasket - does the measurement I'm looking for include the gasket or is it just the glass - the glass was broken so I couldn't measure it.

Can't work out the link between Glass code and the watch - don't have any documentation that tells me what Citizen code is - no manual etc - really frustrating... 

Detail from watch back:

Citizen Quartz **BLEEP**/Digi
8950-0830 16 Y
5101892
30-3054
GN-4W-S


As always, any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike

 You better have the glass part number ,that will give you much more chance to find this glass.

Manage to find the glass number , its 54-98400 , just place it on ebay and you will find your nedded glass .😃

 

Most citizen glasses come with the original gasket at the same packing so you may have also the gasket .

Thanks for this - how did you find the number?

I really have spent hours searching.

I see they are on ebay located in Spain but expensive with postage.

I have been looking for an acrylic alternative if there is one available...

Will have to decide if my pockets are deep enough, or chance an import.

Thanks again for your time and effort - really appreciated.

Cheers,

Mike

    • I've also heard it called the "top side" and the dial side the "bottom side", which should make any non-repairer very confused. There are many examples and sometimes it comes down to personal preference. Personally, I like to say "dial train" whereas most other people would use the term "motion works".
    • Is magnetism such a major problem that we (as home hobbyists) need to spend $$$ on a fancy demagnetiser? I use one of the cheap blue Chinese demagnetisers (£10 from ebay). It works, and has never failed to demagnetise a movement, or my screwdrivers. Magnetometer - who needs one?  Take a very small screw. If it sticks to the clean part, it is magnetised 🤣
    • My overall preference is to use traditional names and terms, that became my habit when i was taught joinery by old boy chippies 2 generations older than me , that had their time in the 40's. But what i often do is adjust the names and terms i use according to who I'm talking with. Sometimes i will say trainside and occasionally watchmaker's side. I try to find a balance between accommodating other folk ( there's no point speaking a foreign language to someone who doesn't understand it ) and using a name that appears to me to be more relevant as to its use or description. But using the name lever can be quite confusing,  some watches might have parts that are also levers, release levers, which in effect is what the pallet fork is, an escapement release lever. 
    • Then put the case number in here https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/filter/search-seiko-case-parts and it should give you the crown 
    • I come across to replace the crystal of a 7734 chronograph.  What make it special there a printed chapter ring  which fits inside the recess of crystal before inserting into the case. I am thinking of a high dome crystal such as Sternkreuz ATCH, fitting diameter OD332/ID320.  For this purpose, tension ring will be removed and fit in the chapter ring.  I understand the crystal size may not perfectly fit these two dimension.  Should aim to find the right ID, then OD can be grinded to reduce without much difficulty.  To find the right crystal, the easiest way is to get know of the OD/ID relationship of Sternkreuz ATCH/ATCG (otherwise the OD of the crystal and tension ring).  I hope you are able to help to minimize the trial and errors.
