KS 5246-7000 new crystal recommendations

drlong · 2026-11-13T01:40:07-0600

Hi everyone I just picked up a KS 5246-7000 as a bit of a project ... There is some dial spotting and the crystal has small chips and scratches....

Is someone please able to recommend a replacement glass and place I can buy? I'm leaning towards using a flat glass and I know I will need to re use the metal ring.

I thinks I need a 29.0 mm and 1.5 mm thick crystal? Does it need to have a big chamfer edge?

Thanks so much in advance once again

It would be sacrilege to use a flat crystal on this watch.
They do come up sometimes (not often) on eBay.
Just set a search and sit back and wait.

I bought a NOS crystal but because the dial is a little spotty I might save the crystal for a watch with a better dial ... The watch is coming next week, will wait to see the condition of it and make a decision.... Regardless if I use the new cyrstal, I would still like to keep the old one, separate the frame and glue in a generic crystal to keep as a spare
