I think the crystal is like around $30. I cracked mine a while back and replaced it myself in 20 mins and I'm not anything close to a watchmaker. Surprisingly, I didn't have any dust inside the watch after I was done on the first go. Get the part, have someone who knows what they're doing swap it out.
- Remove caseback and set aside the antimagnetic dust cover
- Remove the crown
- The entire movement can now be removed
- Punch that old crystal out from the inside. I used a casino chip and punched it with a little watchmaker's hammer intended for bracelet pin sizing
- Use a crystal press to install the new crystal and reverse
