Michael Young 5513 Superdome Crystals

Has anyone ordered/installed one of these from Michael Young at Classic Watch Repair?

Clearly not OEM but I am wondering the quality and fit.

Happen to be wearing mine today. My watchmaker said generally speaking aftermarket T19s are prone to cracking so watch out but he was OK with installing the one I got from MY.

Other aftermarket crystals I've bought had issues with fit (one ended up being epoxied into a project watch, hmph) or quality. I haven't heard of those issues with these crystals.
