    Hi all,

    Can anybody tell me what the original 1959 crystal of a Pie Pan (case 14381) was. Did it already have the logo in it?

    I just did a swift buy and started to ask the proper question later... ;)

    Thanks!

    I don’t recall the crystal part number, but yes, the original crystal would have been signed.

    Thanks. Any idea where one could still get one of these?

    Here is the original, low profile crystal and the size of the replacement.

    I chose to polish the original for my 14381.

    Wow, what a difference. Is that small Omega logo inscription actually in the inside or the outside?

    Inside. The originals were also very lightly etched compared with the later replacements.
