However, that was a great bargain at $550!! I believe the crystal should be more domed since it sits a bit too high above the bezel. Shouldn't be too difficult to replace with a more original appearing crystal. Craig Bergsma identified a very close substitute just a day or so ago on this forum (from otto frei) so just tab down a bit and you'll find that post. As Stewart said, the bezel insert shows some age (wear) but there is an aftermarket supplier on e-bay if that bothers you. All in all, a terrific pickup at a fantastic price! Congratulations!!
