Just received my first Pam (Noob fact) after I fell in love with a gen 510 at a Panerai boutique. While everything else looks fine, somehow I find the clarity on the crystal is not quite up there with the gen from what I remember (maybe I could be wrong). But I don't really see anyone posting a thread about swapping out the crystal with a gen on their Pam here. I mean ppl change with a gen crystal all the time for their Rolex here. Anyone knows if the gen xtal will fit on the noob Pam and more importantly, is there a significant difference in clarity between the two or I was just being delusional? [emoji15]

All depends on the cost of the crystal.

Gen parts on a Noob 111 worth the money:
dial
hands
Mods worth the money:
get a v4 case
have Marlin or Strodda do your movement
Result: a true super rep/franked

I am sure all those will make a few steps closer to gen but I am already fine with all those. It is just that to me the crystal quality doesn't seem all that great. Too much glare (I don't see any AR applied although it should be) and the clarity is not all that great.

I recently got 2XAR treatment on a few of my rep PAM crystals.
Result: less glare.

Hi I'd say you can always go for a rep crystal, but the price is still worthy to save for the next rep watch :)

Are they the ones with light blue AR? Very good quality indeed if so. I'm very happy with the crystals installed on both my DSN 027 and 029.
No. If you want the best aftermarket sapphire, buy a DSN sapphire, last batch from France.

Where can I get it? Can you please point me in the right direction?
