It is funny with the gen bezel: it was not perfectly machined, and I needed to work on the 2, 4 and 10 o clock screw taps to get those 3screws to fit. The other 5 fit fine. Maybe it is because we only get defective parts on our little grey market, or maybe AP is not perfect.
Also, with the gen Xtal: it is beautifully clear, but at 3.5mm thickness it adds alot of weight to the top half of the watch. You have to wonder if the thinner rep crystals are not an advantage in keeping the weight down on the upper 50%. Also, if you do not have that special little O-ring from AP to fit between the bezel and Xtal, you can forget about water resistance. Luckily, I even had that.
