How to tell a Daylight mineral from sapphire crystal, the hard way.

[mt666tm]

Drop the watch onto a polished concrete floor, crystal side down, lol!

This is an older Daylight that I got from Oncyte, Zig lumed, great chrono, etc. My cousin really wanted it so I reluctantly sold it to him, and after a few weeks he comes back to me with this...

My poor Daylight, what has he done to you

On that note... does anyone have an extra crystal for a Daylight that they can part with? Mineral or Sapphire, we're not too picky here. PM me if you can help

Now some pics... yes, those are glass shards on the dial, everywhere... the horror... :thud:

So was it mineral or sapphire?

My guessing is a mineral because usually sapphire crack like a spider web..............

Not sure where to get one but maybe you can try email a dealer and see whether can he get one for you over there?

It's sapphire. Mineral would break in 2-3 pieces. Proven.

I have an order in with Tony right now (couple watches for friends), but I've changed it a few times so I don't want to delay it any more with a parts request... but i may just have to :facepalm:
