OK, give us a clue. I might be going blind but I can't see anything?
managed to smack my monster bumblebee into a metal post in york this week whilst stopping the mrs crossing the road at a busy blind bend...shouldn't have intervened..... case and bezel is fine but suffered a deep mark to the hardlex crystal. grrr
any ideas on who could fit a replacement and is the sapphire worth fitting to these?
here a couple of "before" pics...
and after...it actually doesn't look too bad in the pics but it's all i can see now!

Yeah, I couldn't be looking at that either... would do my head right in.
Bet you were raging.
I know I was when I did something similar

Still a pretty watch though! I now know there are more these on the Forum now as well!

Looked at photos and can’t see how post is 1-0 up.
Looks like a draw.

You could probably get a replacement crystal from Crystaltimes. They will likely have one with AR coating as well if you so wish. The problem is the cyclops. If you wish to retain that then probably Seiko UK would be the best bet.
However, if it's not a UK model then Seiko will probably not help. If you email https://www.seiyajapan.com/ with the model and serial number then he may be able to source a genuine replacement. It will likely be the same crystal that fits the SRPD25, if that's any help.

Crikey that was like where’s Wally
here I am
Try Paul here

I know a few on here have used him. I’m sure he’d be able to source a crystal for it
Good excuse for a crystal swap, getting rid of that awful Cyclops. Would improve it no end
If you can't do it yourself (crystal swap is a relatively easy thing to learn), it's echo the recommendation of Paul@Tempus.
Yep, time to lose the cyclops.
Turn a nice watch, into a great watch
