Where should I get a Panerai case

[SpankyHam]

Hey folks,

I was monkeying around with my 46, [EDIT 47 maybe] mm Panerai this morning and busted my crystal. Well, the floor busted it really. Do you know where I can get a replacement case or crystal? I don't really like the case because it's pretty cheap. Thanks!!

I cannot say that a 46mm Panerai exists. There is a 40, 44, 45, and 47. Are you talking about a fiddy size?

Pics of the case/crystal? That would help a lot. :wink:

Sorry fellas. I had a brain freeze and a crappy ruler to measure with. I was measuring the watch face. I'll need to get a micrometer. Where should I be measuring I guess would be the best question.

Maybe I'll just sell the whole thing and get something else. I really suck at watch tinkerin'

So, where should I be measuring exactly to determine the correct case size?

SpankyHam,

I saw this website from another forum, it might be of help.

http://www.helenarou.com/watch-case.html

The guys who order there are mostly Panerai 'homage' fans, some of them build their own watches but most of them buy the watches. I haven't tried ordering from this website though I'm thinking of ordering one of the 26mm rubber strap.

Thanks a LOT for the info. It's going to be very helpful. I measured the case diameter with a micrometer and it's 44 mm from the outside of the 3 to the outside of the 9 without taking into account the crown. I haven't had a chance to get a picture, but it's a lot like this one on Silix's site.
