My only advice here is to be very careful in even touching the dial. Trying to clean it should be the work of an expert, as these old dials are easily damaged if you use the wrong types of solutions or mishandle the dial.

: Hi

: I'm after some advice please. I've owned a Heuer Chronograph for a
: while, and recently had to open it up to re-secure the crown.
: The crown came loose a few years after sending if off for
: repair. Grrr. At the same time, they also replaced the cracked
: glass, however they put what feels like a plastic/resin glass
: in, which feels cheap when you tap it.

: Therefore, while I have it open, I'd like to replace it with a
: mineral glass. The current glass appears to snap in securely to
: the stainless ring (see photos). To get hold of a new mineral
: glass, would I need to measure the current glass very carefully
: and order it somewhere? Does anyone have any suggestions of
: where I would need to go to do this?

: Also, is there any recommended way to very carefully clean the
: dial? I don't want to touch it unless I know how to do it
: properly and carefully. It's not too bad, but there are some
: darker patches around the outside.

: Any advise would be appreciated.

: Lastly, if anyone can tell me anything about the watch itself, that
: would be very interesting. I think it's probably 1950's?
