In Response To: Poor man's Heuer ()

Michael,

If it is one like this, I might be able to help...

Have a look...

: Before posting on the 'for sale/wanted' section of the forum, I
: would appreciate a bit of advice, please.

: I have a Camaro 73343 which I really like, and use daily - but now
: need to have the crown replaced, the movement serviced (and
: possibly have the hands/markers re-lumed)

: To give me a replacement 'daily wearer' while the Camaro is away, I
: have bought a Clebar 'Carrera' on ebay as it looked in good
: condition and was reasonable money.

: It arrived today, but on opening the package I found the crystal
: smashed and the red 'sweep' central second hand broken.

: The seller has been very good, and has offered to refund if I send
: the watch back (he is in California, I am in the UK), but as the
: watch was sent uninsured he will have to bear the loss.

: My question to the forum is: Do you think I will be able to source
: a replacement crystal and hand easily, and what would be the
: order of cost for having them replaced? If this is reasonable, I
: may go ahead with the repair as the the watch condition is very
: good and I would be happy to keep it if at all possible.

: Thanks for any input offered.

: Michael
