Is the “v1” vs “v2” crystal enough to RL over? I brought it up to JTime and they’re insisting they can’t tell the difference between milky or not.

The “milky” crystal effect is mainly noticeable from dead strait on due to CF’s multiple equal bevels on the glass which mirrors the light differently from the gen. The gen has a single bevel and very slight bevel at the top edge. You should see the slight reflection of the minute indices in the gens single bevel From straight on. Don’t be confused by the crystal gasket on other angles the gen had this characteristic also.

Thanks a lot for pointing that out. I guess it doesn’t make sense then to red light since nothing is technically wrong with the original crystal.

Imho it depends on what model you have requested. If you have payed for V2 I would RL V1 because it's not what you have asked for. If you don't have specified the specific version it's not a flaw to RL the watch

the "V2" are the models with longer minute hand, "V1" has shorter minute hands.

this talk about the improved crystal are the latest batch released, IMHO if any TD says that they are not able to spot the difference: it means that you better expect obvious milky edges as they have hinted that there is no such version.

It's fantastic!

Having received one recently - they are excellent reps. I would 1000% recommend that anyone strips out the crystal and orders a prof or gen in replacement. Make sure you know your model number as the crystal sizes differ! It's been an expensive mistake for me!

Hi bro, If i change to the prof/gen xtal, thats the only part i need right? nothing else? Mine is stock cf pepsi. Would you mind sharing where to get prof or gen crystal? (part number or anything?) Quite new at this. Thanks alot

Sorry no, gen crystal, gasket and datewheel

You could check with your dealer if he would be kind enough to have the hytrel ring replaced and modded before shipping it out to you. I've had mine modded before delivery (I am weary of removing the GMT Bezel myself with so many other components) and it works like a charm now.

You shaved the outer side of the gen. gasket?

I had a watchsmith do it so no idea

 

[garnier]

Where do you get gen crystals? And how to know you are getting a really genuine xtal? Because I know there are many fake xtals sealed in blisters like the gens
