Is there a certain place for getting a new crystal you would recommend? Would be the first time I change something about a rep and there are probably Dealers with a good reputation in that area as well?

Alright, so gen crystal doesn‘t seem like an option.

But, out of curiosity: Are the cyclopses the same size across all models? Would it be possible to remove the cyclops and just glue a new one on from the gen crystal of another Model?

Not strictly true as I and my pal Pelagic on RG have both acquired a gen crystal and for nowhere near £2000!! But they are indeed very rare especially in Europe. Not even sure my source can get anymore yet.

Mine came from the U.S but have been told you cannot get one in Europe. Don’t know what relationship my source has with a supplier over there.

Clasp gap is an common issue on reps but them the clasp looks great! Look at the Rolex crown very nice. But rehaut is still moved to the left (number issue when they created the case) still a nice looking rep! Congrats

Thanks for the advice bro! i really like the Clasp crown alot but sadly the gap is very wide, i'm pondering is there any where i can make it better or fix it :( as for the rehaut i can live with it and i can align it by myself, the reason why i'm not touching it because i don't really want to mess up the Date alignment. i'm planning to get an overlay and put a gen date wheel on it.

Its only that big because big picture on the wrist you will not see it. Not sure about the alligment i dont think you can fix it? Because when you fix the left side the right will be misaligned and vice versa because they fucked up the number which is engraved on the buttom so its one number more than it should thats why the left side is misaligned same issue with the sub c

What i meant for the fix was the clasp lock gap, the rehaut alignment im ok with it people won't really look that carefully unless someone walk around with a loupe haha!
