Brief update : After winning the Tudor case I decided to research replacement crystals for it and found that Clark does offer AM. Pieces for it. Part number 25-124 is an acrylic lens with cyclops I ordered a few and they arrived yesterday [emoji1303]. Essentially the same as the T23 crystal the Milgauss uses sans cyclops and not selling for $500+ dollars With it in hand I took a few measurements OD 33mm ID 31.43 OD of the crystal seat on my case 31.58 I can get the crystal onto the case sorta but not ideal. Cause you know having a crystal fit without modifying it would be too easy. Lol The crystal does sorta fit kinda onto the top edge of the case and with the help of a bit of adhesive I got it to fit on and it is supported by the bezel. Definitely not waterproof in any sense of the word but it gave me the opportunity to see what a proper crystal would look like on this set up. I sanded down the cyclops , rushes it and I nicked the crystal. I did order a few so this was the test subject only noticeable in certain angles The results : Overall this watch looks pretty legit now. The research and efforts have paid off and I am now satisfied with the results. I do like how it looks. [emoji7]. The crystal with its profile and slight dome do change the look of the watch. I do however prefer how the domed crystal I was using looked and how it distorts the dial it did give the watch a more unique look however this crystal is more factory correct I’ve been wearing all morning and no issues with the crystal or bezel coming loose so this will hold me off until the Tudor case arrives I think I will eventually send off this case and crystal to JMB to have him machine down the lip on the case ever so slightly to fit the crystal properly and to do the engravings Stay tuned as I expect the Tudor case to arrive in the next week or two.

Brief update on the Silver Fish[emoji832] I won a Tudor Jumbo case on eBay this afternoon It’s urban lore that the Tudor Jumbo and Milgauss 1019 share the same mid case and bezel. Some think it’s possible others dismiss it as myth. I can not confirm or deny this but I think this case set will finally put me just that much closer to being 100% happy with this build. I will find out If the dial fits the case and if it does I’m in business !! Now the question is...... do I swap the white dial / movement into this case or do I build another one. ? A matte black dial perhaps?? [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
