The nice thing about Superdomes, they look great AND they're bombproof... a bear can't crush one.  :tu:

Yeah. Love the profile. This is a Clark's t39 that required about 2 hours of slow and steady sanding the outside to fit the retaining ring. Worth every minute!

Chuck I am about to install a Gen T39 on mine and I didn't expect to sand anything cause my watch is an old MBW one.

What do you mean by sanding the retaining ring? Bezel one or is there a plastic ring around the base of the crystal?

dbane883, your crystal looks like a Service dome. Is it a service T39 or a Superdome with height reduction?

Great work on that Clarks. Gorgeous optical effects.

I didn't sand the retaining ring but rather the actual crystal. It is a bit too wide on the exterior for the retaining ring (I have a phong retaining ring and bezel) to slip over. The height is perfect. Superdome and some extra lip above the bezel.

Are you sure that's not a T39?

 

As far as I know it's a genuine T19, that is what the original seller (panerai153) told me  :bangin:

So I finally installed a Gen T39 on mine. Double pains: price and installation itself. On my old MBW there was a retaining ring that required a huge strengh to be fitted. Here is the result:

So what did I use the Gen T19 that was previously installed on it??

I put it on that babe:
