Broken glass of my cartier watch

Hello, Brandt -

If the glasses frames were not purchased from an authorized Cartier eye glass frames retailer, the tips here describe how to spot fake eye glasses frames:

Getting a glass shouldn't be a problem, but as it sounds as though you intend to fix it yourself, then please be aware of the following.

It is essential to get the correct size glass - even 0.5mm difference in the diameter means either it won't fit or it's too small and falls out again. As you say that the glass is broken, I would be surprised if you could remove it and still determine the correct diameter.
You need to think not only about how to remove the broken glass, but also about how you are going to fix the replacement one. Many watches have a very fine plastic ring around the glass that holds it in place and this may have also been damaged.
Also, with many watches it's necessary to remove the back, crown and movement to effectively replace the glass.
If your watch has any sort of water-resistance rating then it would need to be retested afterwards.

Bearing all this in mind, I strongly advise you to take your watch to a reputable watch repairer and let them sort it out.
If the glass is anything other than round, then the cost tends to go up. Get an estimate from them first, and decide if what they will charge you is reasonable - if it isn't then spend the money on a new watch.

Hope this is helpful.

NO !! You cannot do it yourself !! You will destroy the value of the watch if you attempt a DIY repair. Google Cartier website, find a store near you, call them & discuss your watch; you can ship it insured to them, they'll call you BEFORE they do any work. If you or any non-authorized Cartier person opens the watch, you will destroy it's value, and they CAN tell if a non-Cartier person has opened it, will refuse to touch it.

Michael DeVito---PLEASE STOP telling people to take their Cartier to a "watch repair shop" !! If they do that instead of taking it to a Cartier shop, they will destroy the value of the watch. Once it is opened by a non-Cartier shop, Cartier will NOT stand behind it, won't even touch it and they can tell if it's been opened by someone non-Cartier trained. A 'regular' watch opening tool will damage a Cartier. And then pop goes the weasel, the watch is now worthless. Yes, they will destroy a fake that comes in their shop, and that is their right to do so; it protects the value of all those folks who have REAL Cartiers and paid big money for them. I'm sure you mean to help, but please, please stop saying "take it to a watch repair shop; you are advising these people to ruin their very valuable watches ! Anyone who has a Cartier can 'Google' Cartier website, click on U.S., then find a store near you & call them to discuss your watch. They'll be happy to help. A tune-up for your Cartier costs roughly $65.00 in a Cartier boutique, you should do that if you've bought a used one. No, I don't work for Cartier, but I own one and despise that so much bad information is out here about these watches. A genuine Cartier is not just an investment but a responsibility. Hoping this helps someone.

mcdevito75 here, Cartier a FINE watch, replace the glass crystal, I would figure approx. $100.00 maybe a bit more. Look for a small watch repair shop in your area to save on cost, and they most likely will have to order the crystal straight from Cartier.

Cartier have and "boutique finder" on their web site.
