Milgauss LV crystal issues

Recently on this forum I read posts that refer to a problem with the Milgauss LV crystal. In a search, I was unable to find a factual report describing the problem. I own a V series Milgauss LV purchased from a US AD. My watch has no apparent problem. Can someone separate the facts from the fiction or direct me to a post with this information?

I had read the problem had to do with the manufacturing process of the crystal, and not the finished product

It was a rumor, there was never any concrete evidence one way or the other regarding the crystal failing.

The first batch crack when they press then in the case but they never hit the street.
So there are no known problem with those that leave the factory.
