Help for mineral crystal size


Recommended Posts

Hello to all .

 I have to change a crystal broken in an Eberarhard watch to a friend.

The watch is arrived with the crystal broken and when I removed it with the press, it cracked completely.

Now with a digital calipher i measured from 12-6 and 9-3 and with the gasket plastic the size is 33,05  and without the gasket the size is 33,65.

Wich is the correct size to buy the crystal ?

The crystal is a simple mineral flat thick 1,10, and I find to cusins.uk that but I'm not sure for the diameter seize, I thinked 33,20

But please help me with an expert suggest.

Thank you

Thank you for your reponse, but it is fixed with the gasket, I take a new measurement and is right 33.00 with the gasket mounted.
Here the pics.
How is the right size to buy ?
Thanks for the help.

I would buy a  1 mm mineral crystal with I gasket maybe 33,7 or 33,8 . As it comes with the gasket also. If you go with the old gasket? which is not really recommended? I would try 33,1 and 33,2 . It's difficult to say and you could maybe end up trying a few different sizes before you get the right one?

Ok it is press fitted so you should also purchase a new gasket unless the old one is in good condition.  A 33.0 crystal will most probably be too loose so I would purchase a 33.1 &  33.2.

See vid below on how to fit.

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds. 
    • Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!
    • Happy to have helped, great way to start the day with a win! 🥳
    • Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor. 
    • I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂
