On the left is my 5512 with original SD...on right is 5513 with service crystal modified by Bob Ridley to look closer to the original SD. He has since cut this down so its not as tall and looks pretty nice (2nd image).

100% correct - I try telling that to my mate who swims with his plexi COMEX in a hotel pool (all that concrete)...but falls on deaf ears !!!

Just go for the freshly made D19 or D39 from TrueDome™.

Original Rolex crystals were manufactured too long ago. With a TrueDome™ you'll be granted a grace period.
