Citizen 150m diver Crystal

One of the downsides collecting Citizen 150m dive watches from the late 60’s and 70’s are finding parts. Original crystals have more or less become impossible to find. I used to buy some reproduction ones that would fit, but they did not have the correct bevelling angle as the original. It’s not the end of the world, but I figured I could contact the company selling them to ask if they would make the next batch to the original spec. the main difference being the top diameter before the bevelling being a little wider on the original crystals. It sounds a little anal, but it really does make a difference regarding to how you view the dial. The company supplying them told be bluntly they had never had a complaint before and they see no reason to change it. Luckily for me I then contacted https://www.instagram.com/togwatchparts/ and he organised to make a batch made up to exact original specs.

  1. It looks as though my challenge (no pun intended) is going to be finding a Bezel insert for my newly acquired 62-6198. Have you any leads?
