    That dust you left inside the glass would drive me nuts.

    Do you know where I can find a crystal gasket for this one? Somehow it popped out and pinched when I was popping out the old crystal 😢

    That chapter ring is fairly misaligned at 6 o clock. Is it fixable?

    Did i get it right? You pushed the old crystal from the top? I normally push from the back popping the crystal out in the front.

    Is it domed or flat? I tend to prefer flat, because of less reflections. Did you get it pressure tested? I would not want to lose the water resistance. I put a tempered glass protector on mine. Nice job.

    Thanks! This one is domed. With the blue antireflective coating I find it fights reflections quite well. Did not get it pressure tested though, better not wear it underwater
