In Response To: Re: 2446c bezel "replacement" project. Need help! ()

When I got my Chronomatic Siffert, the crystal was already not the correct profile and it was scratched. It is better (for me, at least) to have a fresh "adapted" crystal than to have a scratched and yellowed "adapted" crystal. I have since been able to find a correct 1163 crystal - not easy to find.

These pics are from 2 different cameras in 2 different lighting conditions, so not a fair comparison but not that far from reality.


: And the hands from the Swatch will probably end up in a Monaco,
: while the plexi gets "adapted" to a Siffert Chronomatic
: :))
