boneventura Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hi all, Does anyone know a good aftermarket crystal for the SMP 300 at reasonable price? Looking for OEM specs. Thnx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever123 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 wholesaleoutlet has them for 70 USD on the bay. No idea if they're good though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondx4 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I would avoid the Holesale Outlet place simply because they sell pretty crappy stuff and quite dishonest about their policies. I bought an SMP bezel insert from them, received a POS item, mailed it back and got charged a bunch of fees; luckily ended up with less than half of my initial payment. A well-known member from this forum (or RWG) had to deal with a mediocre crystal for his SMP and ended up with a nightmare. You might want to give Krysworks a call to see if you could get a replacement sapphire crystal for your SMP 300m. They only deal with crystals and have good quality stuffs.

boneventura Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Yeah I read some ugly experiences with the wholesale guy. I'll check out Krysworks, but I read somewhere the their AR isn't all that... Also heard from a member that 2Geek had a nice crystal for the SMP, but they don't seem to offer that anymore..

Whatever123 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 OK, I'll try to polish it out at first. There's a German guy on eBay who sells diamond paste sets especially for sapphire glasses. I'm curious... If it doesn't work, I'll give Krysworks a try. Thanks for the tip!

Whatever123 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 By the way, the AR on my gen SMP is barely visible - if visible at all... so it's probably OK if the replacement crystals have very weak AR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondx4 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I'm not totally sure about the SMP 2220.80, but the gen 2531.80 only had single-AR on the inside, which I personally think is not a bad idea, especially if this is a watch you wear daily. The 30.5mm x 2.5mm single-AR SMP replacement crystal from Krysworks may be a good option. I've been trying to get my hands on a gen 2531.80 bezel insert (or even a rep SMP chrono insert), but have been unsuccessful, otherwise, I would definitely jump for the Krysworks single-AR to replace my SMP's ugly magnifying glass.
