You can take it off from the inside with polish paste. But it will have no AR at all and could be worse.
If you do it carefully you may be able to soften the blue hue making it less perceptive.

I have done it with some watches and the result was very good

Should i use polywatch paste or a cape cod cloth?

I tryed to take the picture in the same angle as the one I took a while ago when it had the blue hue, check below (before/after polywatch from the inside)

And just another thing that bothers me about those submersibles....
Have you noticed that the crystals from 569 and 382 (for example) are totally diferent?!
The one from 569 seems thinner and no lens effect, the one from 382 is thicker and has lens effect. From the ones I have there's the following:

Thicker with lens effect:
Pam508
Carbotech
Pam382
Pam671

Thinner and no lens effect (no distortion and much better AR):

Pam389
Pam569

This is also valid for gens, I really don't understand why Panerai uses different crystals.

Thanks for the photos, You did a good job on the crystal.

And I do agree with you on the different crystal thickness, the thicker the crystal the worst the reflection

I've read through the thread and didn't see it but who makes the best 382? I see there's ZF and VSF on InTime. Any other TD's that would be better or cheaper for this particular watch. Never bought a rep before but I've browsed most of the dealers listed on the home page. Thanks.

Edit- Found the answer.

Best 382 replica so far is the VSF

Gave it another ketchup bath last night. Just 10 minutes and voilà!
