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.

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.
