Does anyone know which crystal this watch takes?. The crystal is 28.2 mm outside diameter and 27.2 mm inside diameter. The crystal has to fit over a ring on the case and then the bezel ring goes over that for a seal.
Thanks much if anyone knows. Having a tough time finding the particular type.

Take a look at the 1950s waterproof crystal catalog section of this page, specifically #7. This watch uses the 1112E-1 crystal. The GS cross-ref is the PA 432.
