Hey guys. I had my watchmaker put a new crystal in my Seamaster a few weeks ago but it cracked while I was cleaning some dirty off the case. I was wiping off the crystal and noticed the crack. Are these crystals that fragile or do you think something else is wrong? All I did was use a micro fiber cloth to remove some dirty and grime between the lugs and one the case back.
Also, does anyone have a good source for new PZ5000 crystals?

Is this an Omega crystal? If so, can you confirm your watchmaker used the correct crystal? Where is it cracked?
I don’t think it is, it’s not signed in the center. I gave him the part number and he confirmed he had a few in stock. It’s cracked at 1 o’clock.
Take it back and have him get the proper crystal this time...
I would like to find the right one and just have him install it but I’m having a tough time finding one. Do you have any sources? I’m getting to the point where I’d rather learn how to replace my own crystals. I have several watches now that need new crystals.
