I bought every 168.017 crystal in the market sadly - which is PZ5022 or PX5022 - but there are still many old stockers out there that don't list their goods online

@noless says https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/recessed-ring-chrome-atcr ATCR 296 could be a good fit

I've ordered one to test but It will be in a week

I used them all, but I have:

1) An assumably original perfect crystal that was polished inside that deleted the logo - PX5022
2) Original magnified crystal - unused - PX5022
3) Many used PZ5022 rings that convert PX to PZ
4) Many used crystals in various conditions

But it wouldn't be worth the international shipping cost, I'm sure one will come along with time, I can let you know if a compatible one pops up in US as well, just send me a message here
