This is a bale (B) shape with rounded corners (r) so would come under the Sternkreuz Br category ... which takes two further measurements of height-to-corner-starts and width-to-corner-starts to establish an idea of the corner radii. 

It's surprising what nasties can be polished out of an acrylic crystal so this might be worth having a go at first.

The height and width measurements are correct. They only do one that is correct in these dimensions, but the Br spec sheet lists hundreds, with some pretty small variations.

I think I may give it a go, the glasses are not that cheap though, especially for a watch like this.

I had a Bulova watch the same shape as that that no hands, Crystal and the movement was shot, after careful measuring I got a crystal that was nearly a perfect size and after a bit of sanding, buffing and polishing the sides if fitted, the ETA movement was no longer available so ended up matching it with a Miyota

      Kalle Slaap said he is visiting London this week in order to see the exhibition. I was keeping an eye open, hoping to meet him.

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
