Hi, I'm looking for the plastic for a Breitling Sprint Ref 2016 or a Breitling Sprint Ref 2016 parts where the plastic is included. Anyone? :-)

This is what I mean :) any idea where I can find this part? Mine is broken and can't find it anywhere and send it to Switzerland should cost about €1k to get it done...

still confused, so you are talking about the plexi crystal (i.e. the part covering the dial) ?
not the bezel ?
could have that, need to verify.

I have one original Breitling crystal for the 2016, but a good watchmaker should be able to find a close fit from several current manufacturers ?
well below the 1k € ;)

This seems very odd. Is there something special about the crystal? Replacement crystals come in virtually every size and shape. Have you tried a more specialist watch repairer that has some expertise with vintage watches?

the 2016 crystals have an additional ring, but that should be resusable from the broken one ?

as said, have just one original Breitling spare set, but if you find no other solution, message me, Hans-Arnold.
