H-Fac Panerai 332 “Expendables” Crystal Upgrade

[Lliu31]

No longer in production since H fac was raided. They used to sell their 332 I’m default mineral crystal or sapphire upgrade for an extra $140. I got one on the way to me through m2m but it’s on the standard mineral. Anyone know if perhaps a gen crystal or any other rep crystals that would perhaps be a fit? I know there’s always some slight deviation that makes gen components incompatible with reps. If anyone can opine I appreciate it. Thanks!

I don't recall anyone performing the sapphire upgrade post purchase. Probably best to measure the crystal on your watch and then asking the seller what the dimensions of the crystal are (you can tell him you're planning to use it on a homage).

mysterio Thank you. Any advice on where to start measurements? Vertical and horizontal edge to edge of crystal I presume? Finding the domed is difficult, but standard crystals are a dime a dozen on eBay.

Usually the important dimension is the diameter of the crystal. I cannot speak definitively as I don't do mods or builds, maybe kilowattore or Grimlocktime can chime in on the important measurement. The height and crystal thickness probably would not vary much compared to the gen/aftermarket crystal if the diameter were the same.

I have no experience on this, sorry.
As mysterio said, I'd measure the diameter and start from there searching for a compatible domed shape.

Better send the modders a PM rather than mentioning their names.
