If plexi is not quintessential to Panerai DNA, then taking a 372 with sapphire crystal from AD plus 8 years brand warranty makes sense to me.
I don't deny what my friends here said in favour of plexi, it's warmer and cleaner. I agree in toto. I am happy to read a healthy debate here for and against sapphire crystal. If it's okay for a Paneristi to go for 372 with sapphire then I'll close it today.
In any case I'm getting a plexiglas with 931 next fortnight. 🥰🥰

Is Sapphire Glass Desirable Too!
By: Pun : June 2nd, 2020-23:26
I've so far understood that plexiglas is a darling amongst collectors. I've also read that PAM127 Fiddy is a sought after model among Panerai lovers. My queries are; 1. That 127 had a sapphire crystal instead of plexiglas, then how it's so desirable? 2. I...
I think one should go by elders!

I'll wait for the opportunity to get one in plexi. Just a second thought; is there much perceptible difference between two? Regards

Does t the plexy break down very easily or much easier than sapphire? Personally I would prefer the least vulnerable.
Don't forget the patina too :)

The below picture (not mine) is the best I've ever seen, I believe it's Di Stefano's own 372 and well documented example after many years of a good life well lived : Applying Rolex patina logic this 372 is now worth ten times the price (not, he eventually...
127

For me the shape of the sapphire on 127 is one of a kind,that tipe of domed gives a plexy vibe and reflection,I wonder why Panerai doesn’t use that sapphire on other models .Ohh and I almost forgot the brush polish case that looks great and more in line w...
The features that a Panerista....

dislikes intensely: date's window, Automatic and 8 days written on the dial, power reserve ON the dial and some of US the Black Seal scribble. The sapphire glass is NOT a disqualifying feature. You should read a little Panerai history (there are several b...

I see things a little differently.

To answer your first question. The Fiddy’s desirability is its overall package. 1950 47mm case, gold hands, domed crystal, sandwich dial, early limited edition. It’s reminiscent of vintage yet isn’t trying to be vintage. Regarding the 372, whatever everyo...
Domed cristal
By: Juliusotto : June 3rd, 2020-08:05
what I find it odd is that Panerai did just 127 with this domed cristal ,none the same after that ,it is superb Pam but it is like a mistake that Panerai did (a very nice mistake) since they didn’t installed on other reference,and it’s show that the Paner...
