If the clear plastic minute disk in a Galaxy Mystery Dial watch is cracked or scratched, are you able to replace it? Is this part readily available? Thanks, Bruce |

The original part is not available as far as I know outside the factory or from a donor watch/movement. If it is just scratched you may be able to polish it, cracked is another matter. |

It's really not that hard to manufacture a new part. It's just a plastic disc. Any competent watchmaker should have the ability to cut one from plastic stock on a lathe, press out the diamond marker and center hub from the old part and press them into the new. Greg |

Zaf & Greg, Thank you both for your responses. Just to clarify, Zaf, do you happen to have any discs and are you willing/able to replace it? Greg, are you able to fabricate a replacement as you suggest? Thanks, Bruce |
