Hamilton acrylic crystal?
Hamilton acrylic crystal?
Hey guys.
Got this 38mm Mechanical and I love it.
I prefer this model to have acrylic.
I saw this listed on WUS:
https://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/hamil ... cs/5117069 selling one with this “upgrade”.
Does anyone have any info on this, or where I can purchase an acrylic crystal?
Thanks

Re: Hamilton acrylic crystal?
not an upgrade imo. maybe contact that seller as ask? i think you might lose your water resistant with this change.

I don’t about WR- it all depends if this crystal was made specifically for this watch. If so I hope that it still maintains it. I’ve googled and googled and found nothing.

What do you mean?
Mine came with a slight dome sapphire- pictures second, the black one.
The one up top is the acrlyic dome that I want on mine.

Re: Hamilton acrylic crystal?
I thought the 38mm has been sold since the 90's or am I thinking of another version? I also thought the original model like the quartz you sold had an acrylic crystal.BBK357 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 2:26 pmtoxicavenger wrote:does the original 38mm come with this same crystal?BBK357 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 9:50 amI don’t have a WUS account or I would.toxicavenger wrote:not an upgrade imo. maybe contact that seller as ask? i think you might lose your water resistant with this change.

I’m not too fond of acrylic. Scratches to dang easy, even with a slight rub from a long sleeve cuff.
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.

Ok I see.
Yes they’ve had a 38 for a long time, but it’s a different case and I don’t know if the crystal is the same as the others ...
As for the early 90’s I sold, it has a flat crystal. Not sure if mineral or sapphire but it was super legible with no glare.

I’m ok with it. When it gets bad I just use some polywatch. Anything vintage or reissue I prefer acrylic dome especially if that’s how the original was made.

Re: Hamilton acrylic crystal?
I really like the way acrylic looks, but I feel owning a watch with one would drive me nuts with the hairlines. The one speedy I owned was a sapphire sandwich though if I ever got another it would be the classic hesalite.toxicavenger wrote:me eitherAxelay2003 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 5:21 pmI’m not too fond of acrylic.

I PMed the WUS member yesterday about the source of the crystal, but no answer. May be top secret.
No, it's not Tourettes.

The dial appears to be 30mm. Saw a few things like this on fleabay.

Thank you!
I hope he responds....
I actually tried to log in to WUS thinking my ban would disappear... nope.
Then I tried to sign up using my work email. And I’ve been banned with that email as well.
Please let me know what he says.

I’m sure cmgst_bo would have enjoyed those though.

Re: Hamilton acrylic crystal?
Thanks man.
I checked the website and it said they are not watch makers who can fit them but can supply a watch maker... which leads me to believe they don’t suggest what crystal goes with what watch. I may just have to ask a service person.
