Mission Impossible Crystal?

Can anyone help me find a replacement crystal for this please?

So it was originally a glass with a Venetian murrano glass pattern all around the edge? Well you might be able to remove the remaining piece of glass and fit in place an un-ornamented crystal to the watch. I think it's a flat crystal right? so chances are you'd have no trouble cleaning up the out edge with something like alcohol or similar (i strongly recommend removing the movement and dial for this) to get rid of the cement residue, measuring the internal space with a vernier, and ordering a standard 1mm(?) deep glass in that width, to cement in place, preferably with a crystal adhesive. I recommend Seiko crystal adhesive. 

If you wanted it similar to how it was I'm afraid to say you'd have to go speak with some glass blowers, and even then I dont know enough about that to say whether most glassblowers could be expected to do 'murrano' outside of Venice.

I guess I'm out of luck. It's actually my wife's watch and was trying to get an identical crystal. It's not worth much, just has sentimental value. I knew it was a shot in the dark. Thanks for your advice. (^_^)/

This might be really obvious. 

But uhh...

All sold between £10 - £15.

Just buy the same one on ebay, take what you need on it to restore your one. (Or for more easy task, just swap the movement and put it in the almost new case)

Gotta be cheaper than having one made.

Or secondly, these watches aren't that old, surely you could just ask the manufacturer to send you a replacement part.

Though you should be clear what you are asking for, I suspect it's not the watch crystal that's damaged, and that it's a sort of insert that's glued on the case.

Thank you for taking the time to try and help me. I really appreciate it. It's okay though. I bought her a new watch. (^_^) I'm safe now. lol
