Just a word of caution here. Steve aka RNRPROF cannot install any crystal in this watch, he does not have the skill to deal with Adrians design. Adrian will however try to install Steves crystal but the risk is entirely on you, there is no guarantee. Of course Adrian can easily install any aftermarket quality crystal or a genuine no problem.

Adrian can you explain in this thread how a Gen spec tube differs from a TC tube and how the object is to counterbore not countersink. Please could you add those tube to case diagrams you had drawn. @ado213

Here is my BP SD by Adrian with Gen crystal, Gen Bezel, Gen insert, gen hands, Gen Dial, gen date wheel, gen 703 crown, gen Spec wso tube, Adrians Lug holes, gen auto wind module on a Yuki. with TC 93160A SD bracelet

Thank You. It's all Adrian he had to do very precise machine work to make everything fit, it was much more work then just a crystal mod
I perfectly understand that. I can't see the pictures in the op at full res but it seems back in 2014 the bp crystal was worse than now. Do you know if the new one is better. It's still hard to tell from looking only at pics online.

I bought another BP SD to put my TC stuff on about july 2017 and I thought in stock form it looked real good, It's currently with Adrian but here it is in stock form.

Does the crystal seem to have the correct height and angle to you ?
