    Hi all,

    I’ve always actively watched and read many of the posts but now it’s my turn to ask for some help. I’ve asked around with people I know in the industry and no such luck and I’m not giving up. As you will see from the photo below I’m looking for the silver push on bezel and crystal to complete the Trench watch which is missing! 05394408-D6F1-449A-8483-17EC0D6F161E.jpeg

    Below gives you an idea of the size I’m trying to find:

    I also have a smaller one that has a broken dauphine hand, if anyone can assist with these I will be very grateful!

    Replace the entire case. Much easier to find. If you’re lucky, your movement is a Lancaster gauge size.

    Yeah I feel that’s hard to find even the whole case Tom, unless you know of someone that has one?!

    Your best bet will probably be having a bezel made.

    I have not personally used them, but they seem to be well respected.

    If it's a Lancashire size (I had the wrong name above) you can get them in quantity on eBay. Heck, I have a spare 3/0 size case right now.

    You need your watchmaker to measure the movement to see if a standard case will fit.

    This is my 3/0 Omega.

    This is another option:

    Have used them a couple of times for repair and fabrication, and the jobs have been done very well.

    Cheers, Al

    Peter W - https://www.watchcaserepair.com/ most likely can make a bezel for you. He has done some case work for me. I know he has done similar work for others. Expect to pay in the $200 range. Finding a replacement case is likely going to be less expensive. But if it was a factory cased, my understanding is that the case serial is paired with the movement serial in the archives.
