BaggyPants 0 Posted November 26, 2012 I have a watch which was bought on our honeymoon. It's a quartz Landrover with alarm. I wore it for years, until the back became very ugly and the second strap failed. It spent as much time under a Landrover bonnet as I did, so it got well used. My question is, is it possible for me to purchase a new casing for it from somewhere, and to fit new crowns? Not the same, obviously, but are there standard sizes? Sizes are as follows: Crystal - 28mm Case - 36mm Back opening - 28mm Case thickness - 8mm, without crystal and back I realise this is a rep forum, but the knowledge here is astonishing, so any help would be most gratefully received. Thank you, Baggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted November 26, 2012 I don't think you can find the new case for this watch. Send it to 10:10 watch repair for full restoration, and live happily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyril_Clunge 0 Posted November 26, 2012 I am about as far from being an expert as it gets round here but i reckon you're going to struggle to find something. Whatever case you use you'll need a movement holder made and that's only if you find a case that will accept 2 crowns in that position. Short of a lot of custom work I don't think you'll be able to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaggyPants 0 Posted November 26, 2012 No, in this case it's called chrome worn off the brass body Think I may just give it a clean, bung a new battery in it, and start wearing it again. Thanks for the input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
