Royal Oak Tourbillon fitted with Prof Steve x2AR Crystal

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

I spent last night at my watch class fitting a Prof Steve crystal to my Royal Oak Tourbillon. Here are a few quick and dirty pics below (I plan to do a proper photo shoot, and will update with pics).

 

So, nice but not as clear as I'd like...

Bezel off and ready for the press.

Here is a pic with the new crystal installed (you can see the original in the background).

Oh, it's also been waterproof tested to 10bar

And finally... Tourbillon Tuesday at work :)

Hope you like the pictures, and as I said... more to follow.

Looks great with the new crystal, if the print on the dial was better it would look amazing

Loved it, thought it really looked the part. He said that without a loupe and at wrist distance, even some pros would be hard pressed to spot it's a rep at a glance. Also, he commented on how good the Chinese movements were getting.

 

He works as an independent and teaches in his spare time. Great guy and very experienced.

Yep, the standard crystal hides a multitude of sins :D

@foxindebox ... where can one have these fitted in UK? 15400 is pretty much a confirmed next purchase and this crystal makes a huge difference!
