Great suggestions! I agree it would be easier to swap with someone or buy a 196... But easier is seldom fun. I thought it would be an easy project.... Thanks again.

This happened to a friend of mine. His was sitting on his dresser under the heat vent... I think the change in temp caused it to crack. I have had mine for over a year and 1/2. No problems. His replacement has also been problem free. (Crystal that is)... I think he's had problems with the movement since RBJ serviced it. It's been un realible-Seperate issue...

interested in swapping face to a black 196 Daylight. Is this possible? Any suggestions on where to get one?

Overall the watch is pretty nice. It's a dead give away the watch is a rep when you look at the crystal! I was wondering if anyone had any leads on replacement crystals with a AR Coated Saphire?

I would definatley go over the watch with a fine tooth comb. When I received mine, the marker at 12:00 was actually dented. Also the brushed finish was not consistent. Since receiving it, the date wheel stopped turning automatically, I have to manually move it forward.... Other than that it's been great!

Anyone know the ETA Model the 21J is based on for this movement? I have heard it's an ETA 2892, however, not sure. Need a new stem for this watch.... Thanks in advance, Zuppy!

Looks like a nice new site. I'll be around.
