Show Off Your TOP HAT!
I received this 1680 and was a bit worried that the "Top Hat" crystal would be a vertical visual distraction - its not
 Mine has a beveled / radius to top edge - I see others with an angular or 90 degree top edge. Has mine been smoothed out due to polishing or is it an orig vs replacement variation? PLEASE show off your TOP HATS! (2nd pic is my watch and now in Andrew Shears archive) |

This is a great game! In respect of the OP question I believe the beveled edge crystal like mine is a service replacement, happy to be corrected by those with far more knowledge than I have.

Here's mine - a couple with the bezel popped off for good measure (mind your step!) They have different profiles, some have a very small bevel just at the apex of the corner, others (as per the one above) have a larger tapered bevel, which is more pronounced. I like both.

Russ, Allan, and Ken those are so nice. Robby thanks for taking the bezel off yours to show more of the crystal. Here is my favorite Top Hat pic.

Russ I think there is a small scratch on the inside of the case back under the 1680.
