[Leica] off topic watches.

[Douglas Barry]

That's an impressive backstory, Sonny, and it looks like the watch has 
been through the mill with your Dad. He must have had a tough station.

However, I would imagine that you'd find any good watch repairer should 
be able to handle Seiko innards, and source a replacement crystal. If 
not, did you ask Fratello for a recommendation?
