flavor flav Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 i havn't worn this for 4 months. just sitting on my shelf and broke for no apparent reason! nice $600 rep........ guess the fiddy's not the only one we have to worry about anyone have a crystal they can sell me?
lovepanerai Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 I will have a spare 212 case with reworked crown guard lever, including the crystal soon - so if you have some time I would be happy to let you have it for a small fee - mine get's a new case with polished pushers, correct crown guard and AR sapphire PM me

flavor flav Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Posted February 19, 2007 it's mineral according to the water drop test.

IMO, there is not that amount of pressure for a sapphire crystal to break...I guess I will brake while pressing it not 4 months latter. So it must be any other material but sapphire. vaccum
shultz Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Welcome to the club.... Sorry to hear that. Exactly the same catastrophe has happened to my 212 a few months ago. I was a lucky guy and found an entire case kit but it was a buy by chance and unfortunately I can't recommend a source. That chrono is one of my favs but that damn crystal....
2005SUBMARINER Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 wow thats some wierd stuff! all i can say all you 212 owners change the mineral crystal to sapphire ! i once had a spare sub sapphire crystal & decided to see how strong those things are made , & took a hammer to it ! took me 7 strikes to chatter the sapphire ! strong stuff! good luck ..
