Which one is a Flat-Top?

[Gorilladame]

Hi!

looking for a Flat Top I found those:

#1:

#2:

What do you think: Gen? Flat Top?

[deltatahoe]

#1 looks to be a flat top to me; hard to tell on #2 given the reflections (if pressed, i'd say it is not a flat top). as to whether they are gen or not, i'll defer to the real experts here.

crazy!

I just thought the other way around...

the beveled on #2 is clearly viewable but only 0,3 mm long...

On #2 it seems like the bevel is much longer...

here another pic of #1

#2 is the top hat. #1 is a bevel edge (though not as bevelled as some examples out there).

#2 is the top hat. Looks gen to me. Never seen a copy of one either.

Go for the #2 that's the one you need.

Can't tell for sure if it's a Gen but at least it has the right shape.

If you decide not the buy it shoot me a PM i might be interested.

You lucky guy. It's a lot of money but it's the one to go for.

Would love to see some pictures of the crystal assembled on to a 1680

Both are nice, but FYI, even the straight up flat tops were service replacement crystals. Original 1680 crystals were dome cyclops

Here come ol' flattop, he come groovin' up slowly...........

Don't know the answer, but thought I'd provide a musical reference

Thank you for the info.

Do you have a pic of an original old One?
