Can the hesalite crystal on the 3570.50 Speedy Pro be replaced with the sapphire crystal from the 3573.50??

I have been struggling with the decision on which Speedy Pro to buy. The cost savings from buying the 3570.50 would be great, but I know I would probably regret dealing with scratches on the hesalite crystal.

Down the line could the hesalite crytal be replaced by the sapphire part? Any idea on what the cost might be from Omega?

Fortunately...
You can't go wrong, they are both beautiful.

I prefer hesalite.

A matter of choice.

Answer:
says that it can since the seat for the crystal is not the same on both cases (if they try to do it, the crystal will never seal correctly.) The plus side to the plastic crystal is that if the watch drops the crystal won't shatter where as a sapphire one may. If the sapphire does break, you will have to spend $150+ USD for a new crystal and around $300 USD for an overhaul of the movement to remove crystal shards.
