I Love a T39 Crystal

I just got this back yesterday and had to show it off. I just love how a T39 crystal looks on a watch

One last pic......

I got my 1680 back from Rik yesterday. He did a complete service on the watch and put on a T39 service crystal. I really love the look.

Pretty tall though so keep an eye out for things to bang off

I like it, but the tropic superdome is my preference.

I agree, but I wouldn't trade the properties of a new pliable plexi that should retain its ability to remain water-resistant with the aged brittleness of the original superdome. I just wish that the service T39 had the original superdome shape.

Out of the choices for a service crystal, I think I prefer this over the top-hat and the T19.
