Re: Carrera 2447 Crystal Question
In Response To: Carrera 2447 Crystal Question ()

Reviving an old thread...does anyone know where to find an original crystal for the 2447?

: Hello,

: I've a question to the experts. My local watchmaker recommended
: changing the crystal of my 2447N because of "small
: capillary cracks". Well, I'm not very happy with the result
: (see pictures 2447N vs. 2447S). The reflections look so much
: better on the 2447S crystal.

:

: I still have the original crystal, but what would you recommend?
: Change back to original one with the capillary cracks? Is there
: new crystal similar to the original one, where can I find
: NOS-parts?

: Also the pushers of the 2447N are a bit wider than on the 2447S.
: Should I try to change them as well, or were there minor
: differences during production-years?

: Thanks for your help and best regards
: Erwin
