What to expect
What to expect from a watch crystal replacement
- Crystal type
- Watch crystals are acrylic, mineral glass or sapphire; the type affects the price and how well it resists scratches.

- Common sizes may be in stock, but a crystal for a specific model sometimes has to be ordered, so the watch may need to stay with the shop.
- Resealing the case
- A new crystal needs a proper seal; if the watch is water resistant, ask whether it is pressure tested afterwards.
- Act quickly on cracks
- A cracked crystal can let in dust and moisture that damage the dial and movement, so it is worth replacing soon.

Watch crystal replacement in Los Angeles — FAQ
How long does Crystal Replacement take?
If a crystal of the right size and type is in stock, Crystal Replacement can be fairly quick. A model-specific crystal often has to be ordered, so the watch may stay with the shop for longer.
What affects the cost of Crystal Replacement?
The crystal material is the main factor, with sapphire usually costing more than mineral glass or acrylic. Shaped or branded crystals and a pressure test after fitting also add to the price.
Is Crystal Replacement urgent for a cracked watch glass?
Yes. A cracked crystal can let in dust and moisture, which can damage the dial and movement, so Crystal Replacement is best done soon rather than later.
Should a watchmaker pressure test my watch after Crystal Replacement?
If the watch is water resistant, it should be. Fitting a new crystal involves the seal around it, and a pressure test confirms the case is closed properly.
