The crystal is aftermarket...sorry. . . but, many of the watches have aftermarket crystals.

Clearly, you are the expert in this matter Springer. I am curious what you think of this listing which advertises this insert as 100% original
https://www.chrono-shop.net/en/1297-...750-brown.html. I have no interest in purchasing it but it looks like it could be another type of reproduction to add to your set. The fonts look quite small but correct What sticks out to me are the alignment issues with the numbers. Numbers to the left of 12:00 are aligned to the outer edge of the insert, while those on the right are aligned to the inner edge of the insert. I find it hard to believe this is legit and could pass quality control given real examples I have seen—even when compared to the pictures directly below where it says 1000% Guaranteed Genuine!
