change of the sapphire...

Hi

I have ordered a PAM 351, and still waiting, which I think looks amazing and carry the DNA of Panerai.

I am also a great fan of domed sapphire on watches and was thinking, if it is possible to change the standard sapphire with a domed version.. like the sapphire on a PAM 233.

Does anyone in this forum knows if it is possible? And will the AD be willing to do it..?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Have a great weekend

Jan

If you can put a domed sapphire crystal in your PAM351, please do let us know if it works out. I'm curious to see if the sapphire crystals are interchangeable. And btw, I don't know if any AD will do this for you. The biggest problem will be finding a sou...

unliess you know someone from the manufacture who is willing to lost his/her job! Joking only. If you will go as far as letting a third party watchmaker to try to swap, and you have a second panerai with doom sapphire to compromise. Or you may start with ...
