I'd love to install the 3861 Sapphire caseback onto the 3861 Hesalite model... make our own modern 3572.50.
Especially now that both movements share the same decoration, and presumably, no need for the 3861 Hesalite to retain the magnetic shield on the 1861 Hesalite model.

I’d appreciate if anyone with a sapphire 3861 might do me the favor of taking a close up profile picture of the watch, attempting in particular to get a good profile of the crystal?
I’m looking to compare it to the following profiles, so something along these lines would be ideal for comparison’s sake:
And, do any 3861 sapphire owners have on hand other modern speedy sapphires to be able to compare their impressions of the “milky ring” or “halo” effect?
Basically, I’ve found that the cal.321 has basically no “milky ring” and a different sapphire than did the 1861 or FOIS, and I’m curious to now know whether the 3861 appears more like the the 1861/FOIS or the cal.321 (both in terms of the physical profile of the sapphire but also the degree to which the “milky ring” is perceived.)
I was told by the salesmen that the Milk Ring is gone but I did not see it for myself.
Salesmen would say anything.
Milky ring has been shown exactly the same way on new 3681 SS.
