Replacement crystal CITIZEN Custom V2

[Thomas]

Hi!
I got a Citizen custom v2 4-720504 TA. After a cleanup i found out that the crystal was broken and i am trying to find a replacement crystal but not found any so far. I have trying to measure and looked at cousins but cant find some one. Help needed !

I don't think that is the original crystal. You could fit a flat glass or even sapphire. Otherwise look into acrylic domed section.

Is it a acrylic crystal? 

[Thomas]

Yes it is.

maybe one of sternkreuz special profile crystal will work. Other then that a crystal with flat top will work. Check also tiptopcrystal.

Compare the inner and outer dimensions carefully.  If the outer diameter is a bit too big it can crack the bezel ring on install. Be careful putting the bezel ring back on.. I seem to find Citizens break easier.  Make sure all the dirt and rust is cleaned off before re-installing. 

Very nice watch BTW.

Hello Thomas, great job. Do you happen to have some side photos of the crystal ? I think I might need one of these as well for a watch.
