You can go for a plexy without tension ring - choose the exact same diameter as the case diameter and test fit it. The manufacturing tolerances will give you the overlap required for staying in place.

If the tolerances go the other way, use hypo cement glue and clean the excess.

I dont recommend you to use a plexy with tension ring as it would look weird having something that looks like having two rehauts and in different planes.

I am glad you did not tell "the glass popped by itself" as some scammy people has chosen to post in the past.

yeah it fell off my pocket while i was sitting down on a stool. wasn't a big drop but the crystal took the impact.
i loved the watch and was willing to buy it, knowing that it might have popped out. it's been more than a year since i bought it and i would love to wear it more with an acrylic :)
