Hello sirs,

I'm looking for Omega glass PZ5028 with steel tension ring - no reasonable offers on ebay.
If someone have one for sale - please, let me know.

Thank you in advance..

I don’t think you’ll get one for less. They cost similar from an Omega watchmaker.

I think it is a very fair price for an original NOS .
you can go for the cheaper option which is a generic plexy , should be 10USD +-

Thanks David.

I'l ask some suppliers directly.
Usually the guys here can offer you parts at a well-balanced price.
I'd like (to use this opportunity) to thank all the local gentlemen I've dealt with.

Ok. I didn't expect such prices for regular Omega plexi (which were around 15-20 USD), but, those days are over.
Guys, thanks to all - please don't waste your time on this: I will find a solution myself.
Have a nice evening..

Most of the material houses like Cousins etc have long run out of the popular plexi’s like these and Omega no longer supply them so the only way to get one is via a watchmaker with an Omega account or from an authorised Omega service centre.
I do t know what Omega actually charge wholesale for the crystals but I’ve had a few replaced by Omega watchmakers over the years and a couple in the last 12 months. I’ve just checked and the last one I had changed a couple of months ago was £75 for a Speedmaster crystal.

Yes, situation with vintage watches parts is sad: no stocks, market is in active search, offers are in stagnation, prices grows day by day.
What to do - ask needed from old stock keepers and pray for luck.. )

They haven’t been that price for a very long time...
