Can someone tell me what the original crystal on a late '80s Breitling Old Navitimer 81610 should be: acrylic or Saphire?
Thanks for having a look to this question.

Mineral crystal, but Breitling now replace with sapphire during service if they produce one for that model (don't know if they do for the 81610).

Thanks for swift reply Rof. I sourced one with a (as I now understand) replacement acrylic crystal and am in real doubt whether to buy or not. It's a beautiful piece and I like it to still have the Valjoux 7750 movement. Would be my first Breitling if I go for it. (I'm truly a newbie here...)
