Thanks Dave

Kind regards,
Shlomi Lellouche

Thanks -Frank in Beautiful Downtown Victoria BC Canada
hi, I have a vintage citizen 51-2273 diver.needs a crystal. the original crystal was a mineral flat. my question to you which type of crystal would you go with as a replacement? dome?, stick with another flat(to keep it original)?minera?, acrylic, or sapphire?do you have the best crystal for this 37 yr. old watch?what is your turnaround time for overhaul. can’t do 6 months for a watch to return to me.hope to hear from you real soon.
I’m assuming Mr Thayer retired or passed on, as I cannot find him anywhere. My Bob Thayer restored Bellmatic stopped, then decided to work again 6 mos later, then stopped again for good. Bell winds up and watch seems to self wind. Any reputable watch repairers in the central Florida area? Or any other suggestions? Thx.
