change of the sapphire...
Nov 13, 2010,13:26 PM
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

I've never heard of anyone swapping sapphire crystals

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...
Anthoy is correct

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 ...
