Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask. Where can he find a crystal, I found none on eBay and we dont have an AD in kuwait.

I would send it into the manufacture to have this addressed. When breaking a crystal it always possible something has found it's way into the movement as well. Hopefully your friend has pulled out the crown and stopped the movement.


Sorry I don't have their contact info, but I am sure he could find it via Google.

It's actually a crack and I'm pretty sure nothing got onto the dial, let alone the movement. We know a great watch maker that can fix it but the issue is where can we find parts, particularly a crystal?

Shouldn't be that hard to source a crystal. Would contact the closest authorized... In what ever country...dealer and have them order one for your watchmaker.
