Funky crystal shape

[Yoni]

Hey everyone,

I'm stuck and I hope the community can help.

Picked up an old Tissot 7 auto from eBay with a cracked crystal, thinking it should be no problem to get a replacement.

After disassembly I saw the crystal is if a weird shape I can't find on Cousins or any other catalog. It's a barrel but with a rectangular flange.

Any ideas?

A new one for me too, I hope someone can help.

are there any numbers on the case itself like a case number?

Hey John, thanks for answering!

Yes, but I couldn't figure out what to do with them.. 

The inner face if the case back says:

38810-3X

I just watched the French Watch Collector service a Maty with a similar type crystal. Second time this week for a crystal with a border like that...

Looks like a toughie- good luck...

one of the things you might do it is reach out to this company and give them your case number plus the pictures the crystal. I did a quick search of their catalog but you really do need the case number because casing components like crystals are associated with casing numbers.
