Hi All, I am in need of a very tall crystal for a fuzee watch. I need it to be 45.4mm round and 7 to 8mm High. Let me know if anybody has one or know where I could buy one.

Thanks in advance

Leon

Leon,
I would contact William D. White and see what he can do. New Pocket Watch Crystals by William D. White

Also Leon, depending on the era of your Fusee, you may want to make that crystal a "Bulls Eye" type with the center area ground down. I've had luck with a seller in France that has these older styles.
But try William White first as his stuff is awesome!

I have communicated with Leon and did quote him a price for a new hand made fusee glass. If anyone out there has a NOS crystal that will fit his needs, please don't feel like you'd be stepping on my toes for offering it. My custom fusee & bullseye crystals cost $89.00 and as nice as they are, I recommend that people use me for those types only when all other searches have been exhausted. I would be very happy if someone here on IHC185 could find Mr. Harris a correct replacement from NOS. If you strike out Leon, let me know and I'll be glad to make one for you.

Leon here is the link to a seller I've used many times for older glass crystal.
Her name is Albertine and although this one is a smaller size than you need, just ask her for the size you need.

Just an update on the crystal search. I have bought one but am not sure if it will be tall enough. I am still in need of a tall crystal.

Thanks for all your help.
