    Sapphire crystal for 42mm B Dial?

    Does Laco offer domed sapphire crystals for sale to fit the 42mm B dial flieger? I might be buying a watch with mineral glass and want to upgrade it to sapphire. Is it a simple thing to install by a watchmaker?

    Yea, I would order that watch except it cost almost twice what the one I'm looking at in the sales section is going for.

    I did this very thing. Back when Peter Pfeiffer worked at Laco, I bought a sapphire crystal as a replacement for a 42mm B-dialed B-Uhr. Took it to my watch maker and had him swap out the crystal for a couple bucks. The sapphire crystal from laco was about 80 Euros as I recall.

    Good luck,

    Myron
