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.

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?
