sam_tgg Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hi, I ruined my "sappire crystal" scratching it. So I would like to change it for a real sapphire one. The watch is a 090 PAM from Andrew. The only way that I have found for a sapphire glass is the Davidsen. I have three questions: is there an alternative? I read that the cases of the Davidsen are not the same size that another PAMs, so, can I use it in my 090? And at last: how complicate is to swap it. I heard everything: from need to buy a press, to make it by owm hands... thank you for your help. I am really :x with me for scratchinmg my watch!!!

Sam Merry Xmas If you can provide the precise dimensions, I may be able to locate a crystal for you. Be aware, however, that genuine sapphire in PAM sizes is not cheap. We're probably looking at $75ish USD or so. FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Jimmy Fu (jimmyzfu on ebay) sells crystals that, while not sapphire, are quite scratch-resistant and cheap -- you might get one for 15-25 USD, depending on the auction. They are top-notch glass with anti-scratch coating and AR coating. They also come with a teflon gasket. They are 35.5mm, and the gasket make them usable to replace 35.6-35.7mm crystals as well. Another option is asking Andrew. He is very helpful, if he can sort a crystal for you then he will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Sam, you should take the crystal off the watch and measure its diameter by a digital caliper. That is the only way to get sure of what size you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
