I've seen the entire case back for the 1019 for sale maybe twice in the last few years. I've never seen just the "X" part by itself.

I'd look at VRF and find sellers that seem to specialize in parts and send a message their way. You never know what they might have lying around.

I agree, that is the most likely way to get it replaced, or just plain luck. In either case, good luck! The expense should be well worth it.

Mu understanding it would not affect the watch in any way. For me it was just for the sake of completeness.
