I found a post from Feb 11, 2020 in this forum about this Benrus watch from PaulnKC. I have the same model and want to replace the crystal (which is cracked in two places) with one that has a magnifier. The photos in the old post show the watch, but the conversation was about removing the movement. After reading it a few times I could find no reference as to whether the crystal had a reflecting ring or not. I found a GS crystal PA462-70 with a magnifier that seems to be the replacement, but I don't understand whether it has a ring from the catalog info. I haven't removed my crystal yet as I wear the watch daily and want to wait until I have the replacement on hand first. Does anyone know if these have the ring? I presume that if there is a ring it could be used again with the new crystal? I also wondered about the spacing of the magnifier, hoping that it would center over the date window at 6. It seems that crystal is made for the Benrus automatic and F015 whatever that number means. Any info or suggestions welcome. Thanks. Homer
