Replacement Crystals for panerai sub (without distortion?)

[jjf887]

Hi there,

I am wondering if anyone knows where to purchase replacement crystals without any distortion (fisheye effect) for panerai subs?

specifically, I am looking for a replacement for my panerai 682/683 (42mm) thanks!

I can't help but have a similar need for my pam 605 luminor

You can try contacting member etashazam. He had a sale post for 42mm and 47mm VSF sub crystals without fish eye effect. Not sure if he has any left.

Here is a link to a discussion on this subject:

I have 2 but not sure if they will fit. What size crystal do you have?

Bumping to see if anyone else can help?

Does anyone know the dimensions of the crystal ? I spoke with a few companies who asked for the dimensions.

thanks!

Anyone know what is the dimension, or who/where can I get a non-fisheye lens crystal for pam 979 please?

Reach out to Prof in the supporting vendors section. He might have one that fits.

I am unsure of the accuracy of my Vernier caliper but I am measuring 34mm diameter, 3.5mm thickness. This crystal is from a Pam719 which should be the same as a 979. However, please don't quote me on this. The whole crystal cost and AR coating gets pricy so I dont want someone to rely on this info. if it may be erroneous.




Please note the same crystal also fit my Pam508. However, I am noting that previously a member raised the same question at the link below and Prof told him the dimension was 33.5mm instead. I am not sure if this means a thicker gasket? Best to double check with Prof.

PAM 508 Crystal Size?

Looking to get a prof xtal on my PAM 508 https://www.intime01.co/panerai/2850-pam508-p-v6f-1-1-best-real-ceramic-on-nylon-strap-p9000.html Prof asked me to measure it to see if he has one to send. I'm a little nervous I'll screw that up with my ruler. Anyone know? ThankS!
