Exploding glass!!

Last night I found one of my watches not looking how I left it. The mineral glass had shattered. It was fine a week ago!
It's been sitting in a padded drawer where it couldn't have been knocked or damaged.

I know the glass isn't factory, as it is (was) domed, I can only presume it was a tad too big & popped.

Does anyone know the correct size glass for a 510.501 Lemania 5100.. here are the before & after pics...
