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.

My Gucci 1142 watch light is not working

It appears to be a battery end of life indicator. Take it to a good jeweler to replace the battery.

That doesn't necessarily mean it is legitimate, or even the one for sale on the internet is. Andrew Taylor's information is excellent to consider.

I have a sector urban oversize watch 3H case diameter 4.8mm with a broken watch glass crystal.I would like you to inform me of the replacement glass diameter and thickness i should choose to fit the...

I cant inform about the exact size of the watch glass by the model or number of the case. For that you need to use micrometer to measure the thickness and diameter of glass. Most sommon thickness is 1mm. If the glass is broke, measure the thickness of any broken leftover and then the diameter by puting the calliper arms into watches groove for glass.

A glass for Anne Klein watch

There are sources that I use to find a replacement crystal for your watch. But even if you had a new crystal your have to know how to remove the old one and how to properly install the new one. I have the expertise and tools to do this, but it would be hard for you to do. My suggestion is to get an expert to do this, otherwise you will wind up with a watch that is not properly sealed to keep moisture out and this is the biggest killer of a watch.
