PAM 087 Replacement Crystal?

[Marv1nn]

Hey guys,

Not sure what happened to my crystal, but for some reason the date magnifier has some sort of an x shaped scratch on it. Not sure if it’s in the crystal or the magnifier.

Anyone know who/how to source a replacement?


Thanks!

Not sure how prof can help, unless it's a damaged AR film issue. If it's a scratch on the sapphire, it would be difficult to near impossible to replace as the factory that made it is already closed.

Any thought about what it is?
If no one open the case, can't be a scratch that needs 5Kg force to be created.

I hope that they are plastic debris from movement spacer or any other dirt could be.
Even if it is a real scratch, i will bet on a professional optician for its' recovery.

That looks like debris inside the watch . I can see one peice in front of the other where they over lap. Might just be the way I'm looking at it though.

Well no one can say what it is, especially from a single picture. Maybe have a watchmaker open it up and see. The way the cyclops is made on the underside of PAM crystals, which I believe entails boring into the crystal itself and not as a separate magnifying crystal glued onto the inside, would require expertise (not familiar with opticians, I only know of them as the ones who dispense the lenses prescribed by optometrists).

Are you sure that’s a scratch and not an reflection? Have a look under a loupe.
