    Dear OF
    I have managed to crack the crystal of my Connie grand luxe, ref 2930 and I'm struggling to locate the ref of an omega replacement.
    Would appreciate any help in locating a replacement if they are available.
    Thanks in advance

    Great, thank you.
    I didn't imagine there would be a difference between yellow gold and rose gold for a crystal. Is it because it includes a retention ring?
    I have a pink gold version grand luxe.
    Sorry should have specified.

    Yes of course - the tension rings are different colours. Having said that the only cases listed for the 2930 are 18k yellow gold, yellow gold plate, and stainless...

    That's odd that it quotes steel and gold plate as I purchased the watch as ref 2930. It's a rose gold grande luxe. but oddly Desmond's, @mondodec, Case ref guide has the ref as either yellow or white gold. I guess I need the prefix shown the guide. At this stage I don't want to risk removing the caseback and double checking the ref as I'll end up scratching a mint caseback.
    Looks like I need to get it opened up.

    Thanks again

    If you have trouble finding it, maybe you could use the original retention ring with new crystal? Not sure but might work, archer would know.

    If the crystal in the watch is an Omega one, it might work. If it's a generic crystal, often tension rings are not the same dimensions...

    Thanks @Kja @Archer
    It's an omega crystal, so hopefully that option will work.
