valerian Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hi guys Plaifender and Offshore are trying to have sapphire crystals produced for PAM253/212s. See thread here. Those are 44mm models like the Mini Fiddy sold by Jackson Tse (see here; attention: scroll down!) I'm thinking about a Mini Fiddy project and would be interested in a domed sapphire crystal. I understand it does not exist yet and I'm certain there would be some more interest. Is there a Mini Fiddy expert or owner willing to take caliper measurements of their mineral crystal so we can make sure it has the same diameter? Thanks in advance for any help! Kind regards Val.

vlydog Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Val, when I still owned mine I was using an acrylic watch glass. I have a spare in-hand and the package reads: 37.2 mm diameter 1.20 mm thick. You are welcome to have it for your project. Just drop me a line. If it fits, perhaps your can have a sapphire made from this plexi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerian Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Wow, vlydog- That was really fast! You da man! First, thanks very much for the kind offer! I don't even have the case yet so for the moment I would not be able to put your spare in use. Maybe I could get back to you if I need it someday? It's really very kind. Second: Thanks very much for the diameter info, which I will pass to Plaifender immediately. I hope it will be the same as the 212s. Information will be put up once we have the results, of course.

gavidoc Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I think I might stlil have an old mini-fiddy case that the crownguard screws stripped on. If I do I'll take some dimensions for you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
