·I recently helped this 50's 38mm 2505 to face-plant on a tile floor, cracking the crystal and dislocating her arms in the process.
I'd like to source an OEM replacement, and wanted to get a step ahead of my watchmaker if possible and order the right one for installation. I know he is right that it's extremely difficult to accurately size a cased crystal because I get a different damn measurement almost every time. That is why he wants me to wait until he can look at it...but for "reasons"...I can't.
So 33.6 mm is the diameter I tend to land on when measuring with my caliper. And that looks like a known / plausible size.
Anyone disagree 33.6 would be the right fit? Any comments or tips or things to be aware of as I go about the project of sourcing one? Should I expect an OEM to be signed in the same way Speedmasters are? TIA.
