As have many of the regulars and none come close to that lovely original raised "top hat" profile mate. Some do fit ok, but do not look "right" and it is one of the reasons that I happily pay more for an Autavia that has its original crystal in situ.

It is a shame but I guess we are lucky that for most Heuer there is a decent aftermarket alternative.
