Need help with my broken PAM 217

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a PAM 217 which had problems with its crown fitting properly onto the case. I fixed this problem but after a month of use, the cyrstal shattered while i was wearing it and simply walking. I figured i must have hit it hard and created a micro crack which caused it to crack later. In any case, the movement works properly and the lume on the dial if phenominal and so I'd like to keep this pam. Since I like the dial so much, I tried fitting the movement and dial into the PAM 127 I had but it was too small. Now I don't know much about PAMs but I figure that this 217 was put together with random parts. In either case, I measured the dial and movement and its 39mm wide and I want the input of the forum members on what case i can get to get this movement into a watch case or if anyone has any other solutions to fix the cyrstal. I've included some photos in the post. Thanks you in advance for your help.

38mm dial with a manual 6497 can get into many cases.
A cheap one will be from jackson .

Jackson sounds like the best option to me as well

That's the odd thing, it seems like it's 39mm, I'm not sure if I'm not sure if I'm measuring improperly.

Jackson 47mm case set takes up to 39 mm dials, you should have no problem with it, but I think it comes with mineral crystal, not sapphire.
You could try and ask Davidsen as well, he should know if a 39mm dial can fit his 127 case.
