Foxindebox 464 Posted June 6, 2017 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). Wristie! 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawbaws 91 Posted June 6, 2017 Very nice. What did your teacher think about the tourbillon rep? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_B 2,401 Posted June 6, 2017 Looks great with the new crystal, if the print on the dial was better it would look amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxindebox 464 Posted June 6, 2017 Very nice. What did your teacher think about the tourbillon rep? 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. Looks great with the new crystal, if the print on the dial was better it would look amazing Yep, the standard crystal hides a multitude of sins :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
