Can't find awkward sized domed crystals anywhere.

Title says it, need 2.5 x 29.3 round single domed mineral crystal can't find it anywhere online. I could try a 29.5 but I think it'll be too big, obviously.

I can only find flat crystals with these dimensions but it doesn't look as good on the watch.

Any help is appreciated, I seached every available store in the UK and a few abroad with no luck

My first automatic Orient, any info on these would be appreciated

Picked up this used orient star. Pictures don't do it justice, the blue dial looks grey-black indoors. Overall looks bery classy with the polished bezel.

But I have no idea what year it's from or anything other than specs (though water rating isn't obvious, just says "water resistant")

Model name is EXOC-CO

[Kentex Landman] Here's something most of you haven't seen

Here we have a watch that I regret selling, my Kentex Landman

​

​

Ken...tex? Yup, a Japanese brand that has some very interesting original designs with third party movements (usually Japanese or swiss). They make everything from swiss dress watches, to 300m divers, to solar chronographs, to their more known Japanese army colabs.

​

This is the S678X, one model of the Landman Line. This line is somewhat for explorers and those who like to keep the watch on their wrist regardless of what their doing. The coating is supposedly scratched resistant, though I can't say for sure.

​

It uses Seiko's NH35 with sapphire glass (no AR coating as far as I see).

​

​

Why I got it? Two reasons:

1- That red back glass of course.

​

2- I love inner bezels. Especially with big crowns THAT ARE ACTUALLY USABLE, and to my knowledge it is very rare to have both a timer and a compass bezel into one. Making this watch that's a joy to wear and Operate.

Used 2K clear coat, the first brand I used wasn't great and this was the result. In total it was about 4 cans for a miata body kit (so not big), I think the coverage and thickness is good

How do I level it out?

Too many opinions online and I'm really nervous to wet sand it, should I just polish using something like T cut?

Hardtop is in a bad shape compared to the rest of the car (bought separately).

How to restore? It was fine a year ago when it had wax, but now it's like this for some reason

Thanks in advance everyone

I have a car body kit which I painted then applied 1 can of 400ml true 2k laquer.

Unfortunately by the time I got to the second spray can, it seemed to be faulty. This means I will wait about a week to receive a replacement.

Is it ok to just dust off the panel and apply the additional spray when it arrives? I really do not want to sand and start all over
