Hi

Does any one have any comparison shots or opinions about the standard MBW 1665 crystal and a genuine tropic 39.

Thanks

Unless you get it from Pugwash, TTK or some other photo guru, don't go by that. I never saw any difference between the MBW Tropic 127 and the gen Tropic 127 until I bought some for my MBW Subs.

The gen crystals are not made of the same stuff the replacement crystals are made of. They are much harder to scratch and they refract light beautifully - much like real crystal refracts light.

On the other hand, if you happen to have a gen Tropic 39 and you are trying to evaluate it, forget what I said about the miserable piece of junk and just send it to me. I'll PayPal you straight away.

Cheers,

Bill

No comparisons of the rep crystal and the gen superdome, but here is a comparison I took of a genuine flat 39 and a genuine supderome 39...

Night and day difference. You really can't apprecite the difference until you see it installed on the watch.

Added: Gen T-39 Superdome and standard MBW from my 1665.

One of the main differences with the rep v gen is the height of the stack... It's very apparent installed, as the rep crystal's dome starts flush with the bezel insert; the gen stands up slightly before the edge leading to the dome...

Pug, the MBW rep crystal is on the right in my above photo.

Sure. I meant I don't have any shots yet.
