Thank you
I will try that case
The crystal does not bother me as I replace it

The flush crown is nice though
Have you tried to remove the tube? Is it screw or press?
Do you get the crystals from cousins? I was thinking of making similar modification as your 14060 v2 AliX case sometime in the future.

My build would go from approx 113€ to 152€ with a cousins insert and crystal.

I lost momentum and motivation to keep building the AliX/raffles-watch when rafflesdial sent the wrong order to me. He was nice enough to resend the order but it just added 19 more days waiting time o_O

Package will arrive next week so yesterday I pulled the crown tube out and popped the crystal.

The tube wouldn’t come off with the nose pliers so I had to improvise and push it from the inside.

To be continued
