Gorilladame Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi! looking for a Flat Top I found those: #1: #2: What do you think: Gen? Flat Top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 #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. deltatahoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilladame Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 #2 is the top hat. #1 is a bevel edge (though not as bevelled as some examples out there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 #2 is the top hat. Looks gen to me. Never seen a copy of one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 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. Cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 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 Carpe Diem Cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJo35 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Both are nice, but FYI, even the straight up flat tops were service replacement crystals. Original 1680 crystals were dome cyclops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
