PAM 'FIDDY' crystal cracked and popped off ??

[ibizta]

Hey guys,

I bought a PAM FIDDY, got a really nice gunny strap, etc, and then the first time I wore it the crystal cracked around the edge and popped off in a single piece onto my lap while I was driving.

No bump, or provocation at all, I just hear a cracking sound and there was the glass in my lap.

Any solution for this? Do I have to replace the watch or can the glass be replaced?

Yep. Happens on the fiddys due to the pressure the crystal is under. Mainly on airplanes prompting a tasering from an Air Marshal.

Its a known problem on the fiddys especially if its mineral crystal. If you need a new crystal you can buy one from DSN for around 90 I think

I can get a new one for that $. Unless this is a different crystal?

DSN have quality crystals, so I assume they are sapphire..

Alas yes. You picked the one that happens to explode.

Hi,
To bad to hear your fiddy got busted.
It would be nice if you post some pics to see how it broke.
Good luck with the new crystal.
