About Our Watch Crystal Replacement Service
We replace crystals on dress watches, dive watches, vintage timepieces, chronographs, and luxury watches. The right crystal depends on your watch's exact reference number — flat or domed, mineral or sapphire, with or without anti-reflective coating, snap-fit or pressed-in. We measure and confirm specs before sourcing.
Most crystal replacements take 5–10 business days because we usually have to order the correct crystal for your specific reference. Some common references we stock and can replace within 1–2 days.
Every crystal replacement includes a new case gasket where applicable and a full cleaning of the dial area before the watch is reassembled and pressure-tested.
Why Watch Crystal Replacement Matters
- A cracked crystal is a sealed-watch failure — moisture is already getting in and corroding the movement.
- Replacing the crystal early prevents a full movement service ($300+) later.
- Sapphire vs. mineral matters — sapphire is harder and more scratch-resistant, mineral is more shatter-resistant. We'll recommend the right one for how you wear the watch.

Watch Crystal Replacement — Common Questions
Mineral crystal replacement starts at $45. Sapphire and domed crystals run higher and are quoted in writing.
Sapphire is more scratch-resistant; mineral is more shatter-resistant. Most modern watches use sapphire — we'll match what your watch originally came with unless you ask to upgrade.
Typically 5–10 business days, because the correct crystal usually has to be ordered for your specific watch reference.
