Bond Gmt Seamaster '06

[watcher]

Just arrived home from a business trip and sat thinking what to do while looking at my Omega reps and hehpresto!

I love this new GMT but hate the very reflective crystal it came with and have pretty much fallen out with my orange 4th PO so I thought.......I wonder if the crystal will fit?

The looked close enough so I stripped both down to the bare case and pushed out both crystals. Same diameter! but the PO is slightly thicker. THe AR difference was very obvious so I decided to give it a whirl. I pressed in the AR glass and polished it all up and fitted everything back together and wow!!!! the difference is fantastic.

THe dial clarity is greatly improved and now far less reflective giving a stronger colour to the dial which always looked milky especially under artificial light. The crystal does sit higher but I don't mind that really.

Have a look at the two quick pics and see what you think.

Similar problem on my side..Interseted to hear the results of who the dealer was and models you used.

I think there is a whole new market on AR crystals.

TIA

The dealer was River and the original crystal was not a magnified type but very reflective due to the convexed shape. It was clear at a thin angle just like this PO crystal but nowhere near as crisp as it now looks. The photo's donot really do it justice.

I may buy an OEM AR crystal from Ofrei as I love this watch.

It does have the see through back but so does the genuine. The movement is the gold one but I put a silver rotor on it in place of the gold item and it looks a bitter more classy now!
