No idea but I’ll likely do the same. I just wonder the impact on the solar charging... for no other reason than because I like knowing things.

Just home to find this waiting for me...
I really like it - but would like the domed sapphire crystal - like the SBBN035 I used to own (stock pic)
Does anyone know which crystal to order - would one of these listed here fit ?
Thanks in advance for any pointers...

Might be worth contacting Paul at Tempus Watch Mods, I have in the past and he has always been keen to reply and offer advice.

You might also want to check with the guys at CrystalTimes:

Thanks for the tips.
I’ve contacted Paul & Crystaltimes.
I’ll report back if I manage to get this sorted.

It’s done.
Paul has worked his magic. Pics below.
I’ll take a few more when I get chance to get the SLR out at the weekend.

^^^that looks really nice - I'm starting to see why people go for these domed sapphires. Just had a look through Paul's IG feed, he does some pretty good work.
Managed to collect it from the sorting office & take a few pics...
The domed crystal makes it feel more like a "real" Tuna - It's the watch Seiko should have made (IMHO).
Makes an ideal beater - grab & go quartz convenience ...
- & solar powered too - so fewer battery/capacitor changes (hopefully).

That looks very nice indeed!
Did you end up sourcing it from CrystalTimes? If so how long was delivery?
I ask as yesterday I ordered a domed crystal from them for my BFK - a project I’ve been meaning to get around to for months!!
Very nice mod I’ve just contacted Paul through Facebook so watch this space.
I’m presuming there is no effect on the solar charging?
