Well first of all...welcome to 3T...glad to have you and please jump in and contribute wherever you can. The WIS's here at 3T are as friendly and helpful as you will find anywhere.
Second, I agree with you...The decision between the acrylic and sapphire crystal is a personal one which you have already highlighted the decision process on...the acrylic crystal on the Kampy will really lend to and highlight the classic vintage look and design of the Kampy (I have never owned a watch with acrylic...probably not my preference due to durability, but I understand that scratches can be polished out readily with a good acrylic polish). The sapphire will provide ultimate durability in a crystal that you will likely never scratch without "over-the-top" abuse.
(Just as a disclaimer...I don't own the Kampy, but would love to either own the Kampy or a version of that case from Dievas...I do own the Dievas Flieger and have a Vortex on order).
Regarding availability, I would say your quickest answer will come by sending a personal message (PM) to anders213 here at 3T (owner of Dievas watches). Anders is frequently on the forums here and will likely respond to this thread if he sees it...PM'ing him will likely speed up the process a bit.
Regarding the crystal, I say buy what YOU like. You can't go wrong in my opinion as Dievas makes very high quality time pieces and in my opinion you get more than the cost of entry if you know what I mean.
