During the recent service of my 5513 Maxi, I had the domed crystal swapped out for a sapphire crystal. Since this is my daily wearer, it seemed to be a pragmatic decision. Also, it was recommended by the watchmaker as it he noted that the sapphire crystal...  

I think that the plexys are still available and I would keep my watch as close to original as possible. Best, Kari

Yes, I too would retain the original plexi..... changing to a saphire makes the watch lose its original vintage character and charm. Maybe you could do the next best thing, buy another watch (with saphire crystal) to wear those days when you were more lik... 

Hi, Joey, In my modest opinion, you lose part of the charm of your 5513 by swapping out the super dome for a saphire. Perhaps a 16800 or maybe an early 1990's 14060 could be a great alternative for the beater you are looking for. BTW, the patina on your 5...
