Crystal replacement for Timebomb

[azhollings]

Brand new to the forum and was wondering where I can replace the crystal? Oakley told me they don’t do that anymore. Searched on Google but couldn’t find any info.

Time bomb glass replacement

Are they cracked/shattered or have scratches?

replacements are non-existent.

is it a timebomb 1? it has a mineral crystal and is prone to mark easily.

Thanks for the reply, my scratch is deep enough to feel with my nail, you think it would work?

Mineral glass is quite soft, hence the reason for seeing so many timebombs with scratched crystals. the diamond paste will remove a lot of glass very quickly - i would not recommend using a Dremmel or the like. The only problem with removing a deep scratch will be from the thickness of the glass being reduced.

It is a Timebomb 1 is it? The TB2 has a sapphire crystal so cannot be polished but probably won't scratch either.

Let us know how you get on....
