Glass Replacement

Clareman

I bought a nice (cheap) watch in October thanks to a link on here http://www.jomashop.com/fossil-dexter-chrono-mens-watch-ch2573.html?utm_source=CJ&utm_medium=cpa&utm_campaign=7337207&gclid=CK7UhdH3p8gCFQmOaQodypkIJQ



Unfortunately my little 1 knocked it off a table and the fall onto tiles has cracked the glass on the front of it. I've no idea how much to fix it or if I could do it myself, any advice greatly appreciated.

I have this tool kit in my possession which is what I'd be looking to use to repair it.

A bit off topic but I love the Fossil rubber straps.

To get the crystal replaced by a dealer would probably cost you about 30-40. Bring it in and get a more accurate quote.

The crystal it'self only costs 5-10 euro assuming that it is a fairly standard one.

It seems fairly standard and there is a guy in Ennis that's very good at watch repairs, I wouldn't say he'd have the crystal in stock. I'm thinking if I buy the crystal and get him to put it in might be the easiest. Next question, anyone have a link to buy a crystal?

I am not sure that your sourcing the crystal would be easiest!

He will have experience in identifying what crystal will fit in your watch correctly. You dont. Last thing you want to do is buy one and get it wrong. Waste of time and money. I have been there myself in the past!

Personally - I would leave the sourcing and fitting of the crystal to him.

Good point, I think I'll do that, thanks
