Nice. I hope to see one of those crystals in person some day. How proud does it stand from the bezel?
maybe 1.5mm. what I like about it is it isn't domed. so no distortion except on the sides of it. it does pretty much eliminate the use of the chapter ring though due to the side distortion..
How does it fit? I've read that the Crystaltimes crystals are often tough to install due the critical dimensions being slightly different than the Seiko crystals.

Not to bad. You have to run a piece of sandpaper slightly on the inside of the bezel insert to sit doesn't rub on the crystal.

I know the tophat is a much thicker crystal. Some people have complained about the added weight. I wonder what the actual difference in weight is between the mod and stock skx.

Looks like a fun mod, congrats Terry.
One thing I'd like to see in the future is non-blueish AR coated crystals.
Never understood if it's done on purpose or not but I personally prefer the clean, non colored look

They make a clear ar already. Crystal Times sent me the wrong one. I actually wanted no ar.
On a domed crystal though I wouldn't go without ar. It is a must. But a flat sapphire crystal doesn't need ar at all. They look stock.

Yeah, no AR looks great on these. I had the no AR tophat on my SRP mod and it was perfect. Although most people seem to think you need AR on a dome, the Crepas Tornado with the extremely domed sapphire had no AR and I loved it.

oh ok, so AR = blue?
I thought uncolored AR was feasible. I don't now shit LOL

Back in the day the only option available for aftermarket crystals was blue ar. Now I think there is a clear, green and purple if I am not mistaken.
