·Hello, A good friend gave me his father's Seamaster. The crystal is yellowed and I'd like to find a new one. The crystal measures a hair under 30mm on the outside. I took the case back off and it reads "Patent # 315.164" Under that's 2846 2848 and under that it has a big 3 followed by a small 3C. Without taking the watch apart and popping the crystal out, can anyone help with the correct size crystal I will need?. Otherwise, it keeps pretty good time knowing it hasn't has a service in probably 40 years and has been sitting in a drawer all that time. I took an early 60's Omega Constellation to my local watchmaker and he charged me $160 for just the crystal (says he got it directly from Omega). I thought that was a little much so I thought I'd try to find a less expensive crystal this time before I give him the watch to be serviced. Thanks for any help.
