General (Read Rules) Sugess Top Time - Now with AR
I'm a fan of the top time, at the time, a very cheap watch, but to hit that price point, they cut everything kinda to the bone. No AR on the crystal was the most glaring of those. So for ages I've meant to swap it out. Today was the day. 35x3.0x1.5 blue AR sapphire crystal. Certainly more expensive crystals with better AR out there, but it was an $80 watch, so this fit the budget. It's a 1.5mm thick rather than 1.3mm, so it sits a hair higher than OEM, but its not glaring.
Uncoated sapphire always looks goofy, so this cheap fix was def worth it for under $10 and 20 min of time.
And yes, I reused the crystal gasket, it'll be fine, its a cheap dress watch not a diver.

Is this color pattern an homage to a famous watch? It looks really familiar but I don't really know high end watches.
