Glass 19 4/16 pocket watch crystals - I have a limited number of these glass 19 4/16 pocket watch crystals available. They are beveled, open face crystals, but a bit thinner than the typical VTF beveled crystal. The glass thickness is about 0.9mm. I don't know who the maker is on these since they have no label. $20 each. |

UV Crystal Cement
Newall clear glass crystal adhesive. This is the best glue to use when glue is needed for crystal fitting. UV glue allows virtually unlimited working time to apply the glue, fit the crystal and clean up any squeeze-out. Once you are happy with the fit, just put the bezel in the sun for 10-15 minutes, or under a UV lamp for a few minutes and the glue will cure. $9.00 for a 3ml tube with fine tip as shown above. |
| Crystal Fitting If you do not know what size crystal you need, I can fit crystals to your bezel or case. The cost for this service is $15, plus the cost of the crystal. Return shipping is included. Please do not send complete watches -- just the bezel or case. |
How to Order and Fit Your Own Pocket Watch Crystal It is certainly possible to fit your own pocket watch crystal, even if you have never done so before. There are a few points to be aware of:
Figure 1
The other imporant aspect of fitting your own crystal is what type of crystal to buy. The first thing to consider is whether your watch is an 'open face' or 'hunting case' watch. Basically, hunting case watches have a solid cover that closes over the face of the watch. Open face watches do not. Hunting case crystals are much thinner to fit under that cover and come in a variety of 'heights'. You will need to choose a height that is high enough to clear the hands but low enough to fit under the cover. Open face crystals come in a variety of styles. Figure 2 shows a number of open face crystal styles. Figure 3 shows the different heights of hunting case crystals.
