I am looking to replace the crystal in the watch my grandfather gave me. Jeff Sexton (Portland, OR) did an amazing job getting in working, but he doesn't do any crystal or face work. I am struggling to find a properly sized crystal to replace the old one. I don't have to replace the face, but if there is a NOS one available, I'd buy it and have Jeff put it in for me. Any Suggestions?

Description: Elgin serial number 30980027 is a grade 428, 6/0 size, 15 jewels, made about 1928.14k gold filled wristwatch case, mesh band.


Fahys Model E-8, cover stamped 320893, case stamped 0893
Square corner cut
It looks like it may be flatter on the bottom with a slight curve on the sides.
23.5mm x 23.5mm

maybe face D365?

Thank you,
Darren
