Re: speedmaster crystal
In Response To: speedmaster crystal ()

: The speedmaster 3570.50 has a plastic crystal
: on the front, is it possible to have this
: changed to sapphire crystal(with an original
: omega crystal as in model 3573.50)?

No. The crystals are NOT interchangable between the two.

Also understand that even if it were possible, replacement sapphire crystals can cost $300-400. So you would be better off to sell the Moonwatch you have and buy a used 3573.50 to get where you want to be.

: Or would you recommend leaving plastic crystal
: and polishing out any scratches?

Yes. That's by far the easiest and cheapest.
