Hi all. I have my grandfather's Hamilton Coronado which he got new c. 1929 when he went to college.

It sat in a drawer for the last 12 years, and is in great shape - it started immediately upon winding, and is keeping great time.

However, it needs a face crystal since it is missing a sliver on one side - not really noticeable but definitely cracked. The watch has great sentimental value (and is beautiful) so I would like to wear it everyday as my grandfather did, so I definitely feel that the crystal needs replacing.

I've done some research on line and cannot get a real good idea of how to find a crystal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, should I have it cleaned or otherwise leave it alone since it seems to run fine?

Thanks.

- john
