Hi All, so I'm going to be swapping the bezel on my datejust 16234 build to a smooth bezel, essentially I want to the get 16200 look, and I figured I might as well upgrade the crystal while I'm at it. Two questions:

- Can someone please point me into the direction of the correct Clark sapphire Crystal. Is it the Ref. 25-295C ? I see some with AR on the cyclops some without.
- Is the upgrade really worth it?

My build is all raffles parts, and factory dial. Thanks in advance!

Just finished this build for a family friend. But dang, now I want one for myself!

Raffles Case, Bracelet, Hands, Dial, DWO
2836-2 Movement.

Looking to change up the look of my recent build from a fluted to smooth bezel (16200 look). Any recs on what smooth bezel to go with? Should I just buy the raffles one for 20 bucks? seems like a good deal.

Also not trying to shell out $300 for a gen one.

My current watch below: All Raffles parts and Gen Dial.

Doing a build for a family friend and most of it went together great, but I ran into a weird issue. When I try to screw the crown down, it starts cycling through the dates before the crown is fully screwed in.

Anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it?

This is my second build using a Chinese 2836-2 movement and the keyless works has felt pretty cheap/finicky both times. Everything else in the build is Raffles.
