Watchmeister Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Let me start with the forewarning that I have done nothing on this but wanted to solicit interest. Just like the HBB's the AP rep crystal sits flush with the bezel while the gen is slightly elevated above it. Pics of gen below: With the number of crystal projects that have been done on the forums there is certainly someone who can do this. All it involves is raising the height dimension on a rep crystal (no point in starting with a gen crystal as it won't fit in the rep bezel). No AR required either so it should be easy. Beyond the aesthetic value I have found that the slight elevation can avoid some of the bezel scuffs we get due to the flat crystal. Would people be interested in this? If enough are I will reach out to one of the guys who have done crystals in the past and see if we can get something organized. By the way if someone has already done this project let me know. I will just buy one from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnz Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I'd be interested in 2 of these. Even better if it also came with double AR Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sander Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I don't have this problem with the steel bezel. they are all sligthly elevated. I only have this problem with the rubber bezels. Of course no AR.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 My crystals don't sit that high. Do the gens have AR? I can never tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Gens have no AR, my crystals sit a tiny bit above the bezel (steel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Gens have no AR but our reps would look a lot better with AR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnz Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 actually i've seen a number of gen rubberclads and they do have AR. the older themes models don't look like they have AR though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 As I have listened to people and looked around on the various dealer websites clearly some rep crystals are better or at least sit better than others. Do we think that one crystal will fit all the various second at 12 variants in spite of the differences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgenk Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I found that my seconds at 12 crystal was shipped flush. As I disassembled the bezel to sand out some scuffs and dents (also present on shipping) I found that there was room to push the crystal outward further, and that combined with gentle sanding brought the crystal nearly as far out as the gen pictures. I was concerned that the screws would stick up beyond the bezel but they were more flush w the bezel after all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
