126610 crystal
Dear members,

The crystal of my 126610LV has sadly been damaged. I can't ignore it. it seems so hard to find a new crystal. Any tips on where to aquire? I believe an older crystal fits but it hasn't got the new AR coating..

Thanks so much!

Well if your crystal is like you say badly damaged,that would equate to a shattered crystal.And if thats the case then watch will need a full service,but if it's a small scratch thats best left to normal routine service time.

If your crystal isn't broken but only scratched/chipped and the watch is new enough then RSC will charge €130 for the crystal + €90 placement costs.

As far as I know AR coating is only under the cyclops? In any case, go with the RSC and get it fixed correctly.
