I am interested in buying a 127E

Every rep I see has some distortion due to the crystal shape. Is there any aftermarket crystal available that doesn't exhibit this distortion.

Here is a pic pulled from the Net comparing a fake and gen (I think its taken by a member from the forum too)



Looking at macro shots has most likely distorted my opinion of the flaws. I would appreciate it if owners, particularly DSN 127 owners could chime in and give me their opinion on the crystal. On the wrist is it unnoticeable?

EDIT: Samrai jack has a nice DSN pictorial here:

DSN seems best, does anyone have opinions about the regular (non DSN) stuff?
