DD Sapphire crystal with AR, advice is needed

[Autogot]

I have an idea to change the glass on my homage watch to the better one.
Looking for a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating with the same dimensions as the existing one:
- Diameter 36,5mm
- Thickness of 2.0 mm at the edge
- Height of the dome at the center 4,0-5.0mm

Would be grateful for your advice about the proven seller.

Cheers,
Alex

I am looking for the same thing. Sapphire with AR ( or plexy). I want it for a 45mm case. Yours, is 45mm or 47mm? Where did you buy? I like the crown, where did you buy it?

It is 44mm case from ebay. Crown was changed to Ataya 8mm spec.

IMHO, Don't ever change a vintage homage watch's plexi to a sapphire.

Pros:
- It won't scratch which is not a huge deal

Cons:
- Would look funny, given when your vintage watch has a mint condition and nice looking crystal.
- Will add weight to the watch
- Inside and Outside AR coatings could always be a pain and you might have to have it redone
- You can shatter the sapphire if you drop it unlike the plexi where it might only crack after abuse.

I think you should keep on with the good old plexi. Afterall back in the day, before sapphire was even used in timepieces, All the big name brands were even using Plexi.

If you really are keen on purchasing it, you can get in touch with Ideapixel watch. He is great and have bunch of parts in stock and There are the Parnis spare parts website which you might be able to get a Sapphire crystal for your specs at a price I presume not more than 70 USD.

Good Luck Brother,
Matt
