the_rymeister Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks mike appreciate the comments, I'm far from a modder but I enjoyed building my upo a lot . Makes a watch that little more special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMAC Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Rymeister did you use a crystal press to Install it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Rymeister did you use a crystal press to Install it? Hi kmac, yes I used a press, went on quite easily, I was a bit worried I was going to chip the crystal but it all went well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Sorry for being really dumb, but I take it fitting the crystal with a crystal press means the crystal is a 'friction fit'? Also Rymeister, I'm guessing you used a genuine crystal gasket when fitting? I really want to get this mod on mine, I fancy a little project to keep me busy! Something weird I've also noticed, when I check my watch whilst sitting inside a car, the crystal almost disappears as though it was double-AR'd! It must be the coatings on the car glass coming into play! Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hi Matt I used the rep gasket which came on the watch, I tried fitting another double ar'd crystal a few months ago with a gen gasket and the gasket was to big resulting in me chipping the crystal And yes you need to press it I'm with a press, you can get it started using your fingers to gently locate it then finish with press. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idraw Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Look superb. Can you comment on how this compares to the gen? For me the 45 gen crystal is a bit domed and the double AR is not as easily noticable, whereas the 42mm double AR is on a whole other level that a gen crystal is absolutely necessary.

cougar1 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Amazing sunny, stunningly close to gen AR, how it should be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnydale Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Amazing sunny, stunningly close to gen AR, how it should be done! Thanks, I am still amazed by myself too, it is so close I would definitely choose this over a genuine crystal. When I look at those 2 watches, I cannot see any difference in crystals, because they do not exist most of the times I am starting to ship those now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
