Before  Thanks to Harold (Yobokies.) he is so efficient. A nice slightly domed anti reflective Sapphire After.   A suitable mod! Cam |

I forgot to ask my watch maker if they pressure tested it. I called him up and he said don't ware it swimming. How has he attached it? I will get it pressure tested today. And see how it travels. Looks so good but I like my watches to do what they say they do like let me dive in the water to save someone from peril! Because it is quite likely to happen!  ? |

The perfect solution; but what caused all that damage in the first place??? There's been a bunch of twos and threes of these and other watches on ebay lately. All with similar damage or just a crown or bracelet missing. |

I bought 2 of these from a gumtree add. One is at citizen getting its movement replaced and the other is the one that had the damaged Crystal. It had an 8.5 inch band on both of them when they arrived and the case has a few dents. I'd say the shatter is from a drop or a heavy hit with a chunky arm. I don't think he was a gentle Watch enthusiast. I figure I will catch and release the one I Have with citizen to pay for the other with its new sapphire.  I will take a better shot in daylight of the Crystal to catch its dome. It's only a slight dome. There is something awesome about this watch. This is my second- it's like my Seiko Monster- a watch that not technically brilliant or collectable and probably ugly to some , but needs to stay as a staple in my collection just because! |
