Crown Guards - latest DSN 088 CG pics

[Drulee]

As the quality of the CG on our PAMs is often discussed, I've decided to start a thread showing the crown guards that dealers are putting on their offerings. As we know, these CG's change from model to model, and I don't just mean the finish. Their quality varies quite a bit, and changes from time to time. So if you'd like to join in, please post pics of any CG's that you've received recently (good and bad), along with the dealer, the model it is attached to and when you bought the watch. To start things off, here is the latest DSN 088 crown guard, that I received from him late July 09:

I've labeled the pics, so if you want to comment on one you can refer to it directly.

You do realize they are all pictures of the same crown guard, just different angles, right?

EDIT: if anyone has some close-up pics of the latest Craptel ones, I'd like to compare them

Even with all the smudges and dust particles? Sorry about that, I thought I was wiping it with a clean lint free cloth - ended up the cloth was dirty

I thought the CG was pretty good, but a lot of "critics" prefer the Craptel (using this spelling because I'm sure if I used regular spelling it would be changed ) version. They say that the C..... one has a flatter surface and is a bit thicker.

Does anyone have pics of one of their 088's CG for comparison?
