Pelagos - Crystal upgrade experiences?

[Hawthorne33]

Hi guys, I'm interested in upgrading my crystal. I'd prefer to do it at home with my basic press.

Does anyone have the size of the crystal or any tips they learned along the way?

I have a ZF V@ btw!

What exactly do you want to upgrade? Stock crystal ist really clear and has got good AR coating.

My crystal has been a smudge machine. I don't know what the problem is. I don't have any other watches that behave like this.

I have even removed the crystal and cleaned it thoroughly with soap and then another time with alcohol. Really makes me annoyed.

That‘s because of the AR coating on the outer side. I polished this away and now it‘s more gen like. Gen does not have outer AR.
Maybe you want to try this, too?

I do tend to agree with you... how did you polish it? Sounds uber dicey!!! Thanks!

Dremel, felt polishing wheel and blue paste made by Proxxon.
Diamond polishing compound 3000 grit or higher will also work.
