Raised or Flush Crystal???

[RJC]

Which do you prefer???....

The newer, more flush and sometimes domed (DSSD) crystal, or the older, more raised design?

Think I prefer the older, raised crystal myself, as it seems to be a signature of the brand and catches the light around the bezel.

Can't say I'm too bothered if the watch looks good.

I like the flush since it's more protected....but I do have a soft spot for my plexi-DJ.

I can go either way, doesn't bother me.

Mine are both raised and beveled but I wouldn't mind if they were flush.

I like each for different reasons.

I prefer flushed for that clean and crisp look!

I like the raised design, but it doesn't matter too much to me.

I prefer flushed..

Both my Explorer and my DJ have raised crystals, meaning that they are taller than the bezel.

The DJ is higher and I would presume thicker, but it hardly matters to me, as long as I can see the dial.

Good thread! The flush crystal was originally more of an impediment to my liking the new models than was the thick lugs.
