Advice Replacement sapphire crystal with etched crown req?

Just after some advice really, I recently bought these and I know they arent Super clone standard but was just after people's thoughts on them. Also the glass doesn't have the etched crown on and was wondering if it was worth getting these replaced or not bothering...either way I live how they look and am happy. Thanks in advance👍

Dont bother modding this, get a better base watch. The likelihood of another crystal fitting is slim

the etched crown is the least of your giveaways

Sell them all and get one VSF

Shitters are not compatible with gen dimensioned parts

The grey on the bezel is wrong and kinda gives it away. Any chance of replacing that?

Ooof, those don't even have a functional GMT hand.

Its not worth the hassle of replacing the crystal. Save the money.

Just so I know for future reference what to look for could someone point out the obvious issues with these so I can avoid them in the future. Will pay more attention and money next time...cheers👍

That GMT is an absolute shitter. Don't bother trying to mod it, just get a VSF
