Sapphire crystal replacement

[jinjin]

Anyone might know how much to replace the sapphire crystal in a panerai luminor 44mm case? I just noticed that there are two small dings on my crystal near the 12 marker.

crystal cost sg$400+ and richemont charge about sg$180 for the work so total about sg$600
How deep is the dings?
I would only replace if there are crack or chipoff

I can feel the dings with my fingernails. It is literally on the crystal just above the 2 on 12. Tried rubbing with cape cod to no avail. The dings are as small as dirt but can really be seen not sure if its considered a chip off.

Hi try using autosol for metal. It works for scratches, might work for u. Can save u $600

I bought diamond paste for it. The same brand as the one on this link.

Hopefully that will help, I'll update this thread after this procedure. Thanks all.

diamond paste is effective for removing light surface scratches. in your case you have dings, so not sure if the diamond paste is effective or not.

let's see. Nothing to lose, SGD30 against SGD600 so hopefully it works. I'll update you guys.
