I recently bought an Akribos XXIV (nothing too fancy, but nice enough) and within 2 weeks the glass was cracked. I don’t even know when/how it happened, but the damage is done. Are there any places locally that could replace the glass? Here’s the watch for reference: ![http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/B08AAOSwL7VWs3us/s-l300.jpg](http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/B08AAOSwL7VWs3us/s-l300.jpg) ---

I used Hamburg Watch and Clock for my Oris. Did what they promised. I don’t have a point of reference on cost. Their website doesn’t list hours but they’re not open very late weeknights and do have limited Saturday’s. ---

> [@95d16turbo](#): > > @**[Paulo](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=502)**, That’s just a round, flat glass… correct? Yes sir. Nothing too special about it at all. In fact, it has the name etched on the glass which I find annoying. So if that doesn’t end up back on the watch it’s a bonus. ---

Went down to Hamburg Watch and Clock Saturday morning. They had the crystal in stock, got it done in about 10 minutes, and only cost $20. :tup: to that place. It will certainly be my go to from now on. Thanks for the input guys. And thanks for lining it up @**[95d16turbo](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=4104).** ---

> [@Mr. T](#): > > What ever ended up being wrong with the oris? I dove with it before and it was fine I felt so bad when I saw that pic you sent me. Not entirely sure. I could’ve left the crown loose, but HW & C got all the moisture out of the crystal and put in a new seal. Told me to avoid wearing in situations other than hand washing. A little annoyed I should have to treat a “finer” timepiece so carefully, especially when it’s got a rating to 300M. It’s my daily right now. How about your Tissot? ---

I ended up trading the tissot for another watch and some sabres tickets for my girls birthday. My daily is a emporio armani roman numeral watch currently which is a little too dressy for my taste but it will have to do until after I buy a house then a new tag heuer aquaracer will be my next purchase. ---

May consider that at some point. Still catching up from funds spent on man cave.
