Damned; I had it AR treated by FineDD.

Ouch, I know the feeling as a similar thing happened to me. I dropped keys on mine and it spontaneously broke much later, in the middle of the night!

I was lucky that a modder / watch builder was able to help and had stock. He was able to remove the old glass and fit the new one. No glass fragments were in the movement and the hands and dial wasn't scratched too much. The 217 runs like a dream. The modder I used is having a break but it may be worth PMing one or two across the boards.

Measure up with calipers if you have them, check out cousins uk website, there's thousands of cheap good quality plexi, if you don't want to wait the slow boat from china :)

I had the same thing happen to me on the 127.

 

1. I was able to source a new crystal from Tat at Getat (note like the orginal it only comes in mineral glass, $20).

 

2. Last month this happened to another member and they were able to source and repair the crystal through CLS (if I remember correctly).

 

Good luck
