 Hello,
My cherished Airflight has recently developed a crack. I'm beside myself as I absolutely love this watch and hope to be able to fix it. Does anyone know of, or have an Airflight case for sale? If not, might you know of any resources (websites, shops, individuals)to try and locate one? I have attached a pic of my Airflight so you can see which style it is.
Any help, insight, direction, etc... would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!!!!!

Hi there
I'm pretty sure that your case can be repaired, and notice that others have suggested talking to a jeweller about this.
I personally would suggest that you consider a specialist in case repair, and even though I notice you're based in the USA, I would recommend that you contact Peter at RePlateIt in Canada. Sound crazy? Well maybe. But I send him my cases from the UK, where I'm based, because he's actually good at what he does. Plus, I don't think he's expensive. I simply mail the work to him by Airmail, insured, signed for (not expensive), marking the package as 'watch parts for repair and return' and he pays no import duties or taxes. He repeats the process when done, and ditto, no extra charges - and believe me, I've done this a far few times. Not bending or breaking the law, by the way, he's supplying a service only.
In fact, he re-plated my own Airway case!
Hope this helps,
Michael
