High Dome Crystal
This watch just came in from one of our members to have a new glass crystal made. The existing crystal appears to be a GS PKH acrylic crystal with a hole drilled in the middle!

First I'll select an over sized convex blank. 55mm will need to be reduced to 42.75mm. The inside center clearance will be reduced from 7.2mm to about 5mm which should be fine.

A perfect fit and looks as original.

That's why GS crystals are more popular than mine ....they're drillable!
