212 Sapphire Crystals

[Finepics]

All of you who were hoping for this the bad news is, having risked breakage and loss in post sending him my own mineral glass to copy, Davidsen cannot make the 212 crystal in Sapphire so we are back to square one on this.

I now officially hate this freaking crystal with the burning hatred of a thousand suns.

Nobody could do it for me, nobody can do it for Mark... what the [censored]?!

Well, apparently someone can make them as Josh's new 212 and 253 can attest...

Ditto that - I'm too scared to even wear mine now and it's one of my favourites too. Now it will just sit in a drawer gathering dust (assuming the mineral crystal comes back in one piece).

I feel your pain, Finepics and Jonathan. These projects can suck, bigtime. I wonder if it would be worth it to see if someone can do a very cheap run of AR glass--maybe for the price of 1 sapphire crystal we can each buy 3 glass ones to have on hand as sapres, and thus not be afraid to wear the watches.

On a general note, until someone does the dial and back, my 212 won't be getting enough wrist time to scratch the crystal anyway. Now that's the project--a correct 212 dial/back/rotor-foil package!

i've got a correct dial, and a spacer... just no watch to put it back into. :-D

This is terrible -- I have a swiss version that is busted and my friend does too ! It would be great if we could get some from Joshua but I think the chances are slim and none.
