Saphire Crystal for Modern Daytona

[Reginald37]

So I bought the famous White Dialed Ziggified Daytona which has a saphire crystal. That one's going to get a gen crown and be pretty much done, but i also have a black dial that I'm going to put a gen crown on as well as service and get the bracelet loosened up a bit.

I did a quick light aging on it this morning to make it look like a 10 year old daily wearer. The bright sun makes it look more worn than it does in person. I'm actually really happy how it came out. I can always cape cod it backwards if i want.

Question is can someone point me to the correct replacement saphire crystal, not OEM or anything, I can get put on in while it's at the watchmaker.

thanks in advance

Bill

Why replace the current crystal? There does not appear to be anything wrong with it & you open up the potential for problems by messing with it.

If it ain't broke..................

Thanks for that Freddy. I was strictly thinking since the other one had it done that it was a mod that "should" be done, like shaving the CGs on a vintage. There's obviously not nearly as much info on modding these. Leave it alone it is. You're right, it looks fine.
