Hi everyone, Does anybody know what kind of crystal fit exactly to a ref 2005 Superocean? High dome or low dome and what diameter? Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks Rene & fred, I measured it from outside and the caliper says 35,7 but i am wondering if this is correct size for ordering/finding the correct one. Do you know any place having these? Looks like the crystals are the same size as the 765x’s, right? O bytheway, finding the bezel is probably looking for a needle in haystack  ?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

the plexi's are the same as for the 1765 / 7650 , and equally hard to find, bezels even harder to find I dont know what the overall condition is and how much you paid , but if you want a 'quick' (9 months) solution and 'affordable' ($2500 + VAT) send it to teh Heists ?. they have the parts and knowledge to restore it |

O forgot to answer Overal condition is just great. But wearing a watch meaning also risk to harm the crystal and/or bezel. So i thought if i have spares, would be fine, just in case anything happens to it. Better having it now than later, as i can imagine it just gets harder n harder to find. Wondering why no company starts to produce these parts , as there is so much interest for it.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
