Hi Steve,
As far as I know there’s not much you can do to remove the yellow from that crystal. Maybe someone else up here knows a trick or two that might help. Your original crystal was glass. If you would like to replace the plastic one with glass (always nice) then you’ll find a few good sources to choose from by putting “glass pocket watch crystals” into google.
Hope this helps Steve!
Bob
