Does anyone know of someone that replaces glass/plastic crystals on pocket watches?

Hi term,
Are you looking for a crystal to do the job yourself, or do you need someone to do it for you? Either way you should be able to find someone to help you out here.

Either way, If it is easy I wouldn't mind trying it myself.

Problem with Crystals is getting the correct size crystal.

Due to the varying size of different cases, you may need quite a few crystals to find the exact fit.

I have had good luck with this gentleman in the past. I assume he still replaces crystals.

Henry hit the nail on the head... the process itself is E Z... but finding the exact fit is the time consuming thing... and in some older assortments, one 19.4 may not be exactly the same as another 19.4....

roundness of the bezel also is a factor.
