Hello all

A few days ago I bought a Breitling Shark A17605. However, this watch needs some work.

The crown has been replaced with a non Breitling one (much too small) and the sapphire crystal glass also was replaced with a non standard one. I did know this as I bought the watch. I need to find a new crown and a new sapphire crystal for this one as I want to restore to its original state.

Can anyone tell me which sapphire crystal glass I need for this one ? I mean the exact measurements and thickness ? And can anyone tell me if it is supposed to be domed ?

I found an original crown for a 17605 movement / case so I suppose this will be a perfect fit ?

Thanks in advance.

I also have an automatic Shark A17605. It never had a sapphire crystal - the Shark was one of the last of the Breitling range to be produced with a mineral crystal (it's not domed, btw). :)

Thanks for the reply.

So not domed. Ok. Does it sit flat on the watch or is there an edge beween the glass and the surrounding.

Ok I managed to find an original crown for an a17605 case, but I can not find the crown tube for this older model. Can anyone help me (websites ?) for the correct crown tube for this watch ?

It sits flat, about 1mm below the edge of the "chimney" around which the bezel revolves.
