I prefer the crystal to NOT be a dome. I find I can't read it on an angle at all because of the magnification.

What are your thoughts? Preferences? Comments?

I lok forward to the comments

I'm one of those folks who like them all shapes and sizes. I like to see just how artistic a designer can get with a crystal. :cool:

cheap watches = cheap domed crystals :D...a domed saph is more for a dive watch as it increases visibility underwater...so on my dive watches I prefer a domed or double domed saph....above ground a sapphire of any shape with proper AR cotaing is my preference hand6.gif

You can just make it out. Check out the beveled crystal on this Dunhill.
