Crystal broke during flight

So I bought a speedy tuesday from Puretime around 6 months ago, and have been wearing it on and off.

I travel alot for work and haven't had any issues with the watch previously except on my last flight where the crystal suddenly broke and popped off the watch while I was in the air.

Has anyone experienced this before with your reps?

Do you think it's just the build quality from this factory? As my other rolex rep from noob and Panerai rep haven't done this and they clocked far more miles..

What would you guys do with the watch now if you were me?

Caused by a build up of too much pressure but what the fuck..This shouldn't be happening with Sapphire Crystals. Now I'm going to be paranoid about wearing my watch on a flight.

It was defective or damaged, just get another crystal put in. No, it wasn't a buildup of pressure, ROFL.... You probably hit it on something and didn't notice till it fell off. If you can't press a crystal in yourself, have one of these modders do it. Crystals are cheap

Thanks guys.. So anyways I posted it back to Puretime cos they said they'll replace the crystal for free..

After some weeks past they told me the factory said they don't have any crystals but can sell me a replacement case for US$ 99..

When asked what guarantee that it won't happen again - Puretime said "none".

Anybody know someone who sells just crystal and can put it in for me please?

Thanks in advance.
