Hello!
I've KW 312. Is it possible somehow somewhere to replace the crystal as on mini fiddys?
Is there jackson only sell it? Or there is any other?
Maybe someone already did something like this?
And is it possible?

Isn't it better to just buy a jackson mini fiddy and leave that beautiful 312 as it is?

You might want to check with them first. It has been a while, but the last time I bought from them, the pics online advertised a true mini fiddy case with domed crystal, but what I got was pretty much flat. Same as what the 312 has now. If you get the crystal measurement, and don't care about plastic, you can get high domed plexis on eBay for around $10.

Jackson told me they don't have domed glass anymore forever(
Does anybody else provide that kind of glass?

BTW, is there any number of Panerai Mini Fiddy? As classic fiddy has #127

Being a total newb can someone please post a link to the watch you're talking about? I really like the 1950's but am a little intimated by the size (having a smaller wrist) I assume you guys are talking about a smaller version.... I have no idea which TD "Jackson" is....
Cheers!

Getat watch (not a TD here) can make custom mini Fiddy builds with domed plexi.

But...., let me give you my recent "story" with him.
I ordered the exact same build like your picture above some months ago.
Communication was good, made the payment and the watch should have been shipped within 5 days.
It took a little more than 2 weeks, so not too bad.
The problem is when I received the watch, it was not exactly as I asked.
I contacted him back and he proposed to ship me the correct parts but as I was not able to do the job by myself, we agreed that I send him back the watch and he will send me the correct build some days after.

Then, after I sent him back the "wrong" watch, I didn't get any answers to my emails during 2-3 months and of course, no new watch.
It ended up with a refund after a Paypal dispute.

So maybe, you could be more lucky than me ...

Just my two cents.

Getat offers interesting pieces, but his service is lacking to say the least. I would not buy from him, there's an obvious reason he's not a TD here nor in any of the forums I know.

Yes, Kilowattore is rigth.

the service of Getat is really poor and order from him is not safe IMHO.
that is what I wanted to explain in my message, but maybe it was not really clear...

anyway, good luck with your search squadgazzz
