SD4k crystal on 43mm

Hi this has been discussed but has anyone tried it , I think we agreed the case is larger but thought the dial and crystal were possible the same size

I double checked.
126600 uses sapphire crystal 25-7003-1
Diameter 30.67 mm 3.5 mm thick.

116600 uses sapphire crystal 25-295/4
Diameter 29.55 mm 3.4 mm thick.

Let me know what you get

Oh the odd cyclops

Take the crystal off, let it soak a day in pure acetone, take a plastic chisel and a small watchmaking hammer and pop it right off. Make sure no glue or AR coating remains where the cyclops was. Place back in case, pressure test and done.

Acetone in a container inside an ultrasonic really speeds up the process according to what I have heard.
