Most i have come across are only 2mm thickness. :(

If it can be domed contact Mkiiwatches m8. They should be selling 30mm diameter glasses that are probably around 2.5-3mm the 30mm domed sapphire is sold under Seiko monster Skx779 glass.

Laminate a .9mm sapphire onto a 2mm thick mineral. :mrgreen:
I've tried that and it didn't work very well it was perfect until I fitted it to the watch case :(
What happened Bry, did it just come apart, i believe its cured using uv glue but may be wrong.

The stuff I tried just crazed tried a few times and still crazed obviously need a better resin.
you can get 3mm domed from cousins however it is only 1mm at the edges.
cheers

IMO not very impressed with Cousin's Sapphires. Harold probably has one around £30-£40

I was using some fancy bubble free laminate resin obvs not designed for strength.
If nothing helps: http://horlogeglas.nl/ A Dutch site of people producing crystals: mineral, sapphire and plexi. Every shape or size you want. I'm glad to help you if you need any translation.
