Evo arrived! Can crystal be raised? + Pics

[bluffer843]

I am super happy with this rep. I have played with several gen HBB and I think it would be quite hard to be called out with this one. I spent about 20 minutes comparing it to gen photos and its a good as everyone says. One question: My crystal appears to sit flush with the bezel. Can it be raised like the gen?

Here are some epics plus a good link to gen photos:

Mine

Additional thoughts:

• the clasp is WAY better then on my 1.5 HBB black magic lite.
• The clasp fits conformable on my 6.5 inch wrist
• The rubber strap is soft and feels very gen, It has already started to collect some dust though
• The lume was better then I expected
• The chrono pushers feel very sturdy and gen like
• the rubber strap fits flushly into the case better then on most of the gen photos I have seen, LOL
• Finally, My big concern on ordering this watch was the carbon fiber. It is not as sparkly as say a gen uboat, but the it really seems quite close to the gen

i was also concerned with the shine of the carbon fiber. My rep will be here hopefully next week, and since I saw the gen in person, I will determine how close it is to it.

Hi bluffer
I have already reply this post in "Offical thread"
thanks for your pic and comments.
The crystal of HBB V& is not as high as the gen, this is a flaw of the rep, but it must not be flush with the bezel. There should be several tenths of mm of difference.
It would be better that you check it with the pics in this thread or/and the QC pics of some dealer.
If you think it is not correct, talk to the dealer.
Anyway, could you take a side view pic to evaluate it??
Please share your opinions, issues and solutions in the thread a.mentioned
thanks again.

Hi bluffer!!!
Congratulations on the very nice watch!! If the CF dial is as good as my Graham, it's amazing!
The crystal can be replaced for one of Takashi's crystals... He sells them separately at his site: www.2geek.net
I already have one installed on my All Black ll and it's superb!
