So because the 3646 case is flatter than the 2446 case, the crown must "clear" the teeth on the bezel. Someone used the incorrect crown, so the crown did not clear the teeth, so he ground down the teeth. God, what an awful way to solve a simple problem.

Remind me not to use this gentleman as my dentist!!

: Missing the proper crown, the only solution is... smoothing the
