Does BK sell juts the DWO overlay; about Bezel do you mean is too tall in other words too thick....

yes he sells you the overlay - don't mention it for an TC watch ;)
(just kidding)
the bezel look a little thick - you can get an Clark crystal + correct gasket - its not so expensive and you will see if the crystal sits better ...

Is the Clark crystal the best on the market? I'm guessing it doesn't have the crown @6 ?

All reps I've seen had really bad crowns @6, so I would in any case prefer no crown.

This is a nice picture I made from a gen Ex1-2002 crown with a microscope. B)

Do all gen sub crystals have the crown @6? Only thinking of a tell on the rep but I suppose you would have to get quite close to notice it .
Oh and I like the picture :)

Since 2001 they used the crown.
Original crystals have this type, factory replacements have a lying S within the crown base.
And a lot of people have a hard time to find their crown, so the reps where you can see them on the qc pictures have to get a new crystal :protest:
