Are there any online watch repairers who will replace the crystal in my wife's Mondaine?
I was replacing the battery and as if getting the back OFF wasn't hard enough, when putting it back on I smashed the crystal.

I did the exact same thing a couple of years ago too. I got it replaced at a localish shop then and it cost crazy money. Can't help thinking this is the sort of thing that should only cost a fiver.

Google seems to bring up very little. Any suggestions?

The only suggestion I have is that you get a shop to change it next time, you've got a 100% success rate for breaking it...

I've learned my lesson alright.
And the lesson is - buy watches that I can change the battery for myself!
