mastmampf Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Hello at all, it really don`t seems that i will ever get my crytals back from Rocket (coated or uncoated). He is not responding to my mails anymore since a couple of weeks. Is it possible to order the crystals only (without watchcase) from one of our trusted dealers? I have already emailed Andrew and Joshua but got no response yet. Greetz from Germany Matz
pollux1 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 One of the dealers must be able to supply them it would be so much easier to buy a spare and send it to Chief in my opinion.
JohnG Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Many of the big dealers can't be bothered, but the smaller ones will usually source parts such as crystals. I couldn't get ONE trusted dealer to sell me a Breitling Ocean Racer deployant without the rubber (for a custom strap project), but got one fine from a non-forum dealer (for $35). Thing is, you mention their name and you risk getting in trouble. Just email all the dealers, someone will be able to help. Edited July 24, 2009 by JohnG

pollux1 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Hopefully one of the dealers will chime in. If I could get a uPO and Aquatimer crystal I'd buy them in a flash!

Unless someone is a well established character, asking a dealer if they can source a part will likely be met by a refusal. Best of luck getting the situation resolved, or in acquiring a new crystal
Wayward Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Just measure your watch with a digital caliper and order a replacement from Krysworks
kbiz Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 I know DSN will sell panerai sapphire crystals... $100...
mastmampf Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Posted July 24, 2009 @Wayward I have just checked "Krysworks". 3 of the crystals i need (2x 6.75, 1x Big Pilot) have diameters of 40mm or more. Krysworks offers only up to 36mm
