Watch crystal question
Is there a way to identify a watch crystal as to fitting a open face or hunter.Is there a marking on the label that identifies which type of watch.

Mario, generally the Open Face watches have a crystal 1.5-3.0 mm thick. Hunter Crystals are usually 0.25-0.75 mm thick and NEVER over 1.0 mm.
