372 with sapphire

Why ?
The whole look of the 372 is based around the Plexiglas look.

I've seen a gen 422 with a crystal. The 422 is very similar to the 372 and it looks amazing with crystal.
I now that some gen 372 also have a crystal. Panerai wouldn't have done it if it didn't look good.
I have a rep 372 with plexi and I love it.
I also think the 372 looks good with crystal as well.

The 422 xtal is a different shape to the 372. Not sure if an OEM 372 xtal would fit a rep 372 that originally had a plexi.
And really not sure why you would swap even if you could- the plexi is a major factor in why the 372 is such a special piece. But each to their own.
I also highly doubt that Panerai switched to sapphire because they thought it looked better.

Stick with plexi for the 372. SF made theirs with sapphire. Plexi gives the dial that “warm” vintage appearance.

I love the plexi look. But I also like the sharpness of the sapphire, the way that makes the dial pop up.
Is that a sin?
Why not just get a different model if you want a sapphire? Leave the 372 and it’s plexi alone
