Sub Sapphire and bezel question...

Hello all,

I have a 1991 (N-Series) Submariner 16613. The sapphire (i think its a sapphire ?) anyways it has a deep scratch and my bezel insert has some chips in it.

I was thinking about buying the parts and having a reputable watchmaker do the the repairs.

MY QUESTIONS ARE:

Where can I buy the proper parts?

What Part # and size should I look for? (I don't want to buy the wrong size sapphire)

Are there any recommendations for a watchmaker in the Los Angeles area who can do the installation?

Thank you everyone for your help.

I've been using the guys at 4 Crowns in downtown LA, they are former BH RSC empolyees who formed their own shop after it closed. Very good work and awesome prices.
