El hilo es muy apreciado e interesante. Gracias.
Lo acompaño con fotos del mio para enriquecerlo.

Caja de cristal, corona y agujas originales y en aceptable estado, el azul de la esfera es precioso pero no hay duda de que la esfera ha sido retocada.

"AUTOMATIC" en letras mayúsculas se usó en algunas modificaciones posteriores y en el Defy femenino, pero nunca en este modelo de fábrica.

La pulsera es una imitación sin ningún tipo de marca, bien hecha.

Mis mejores deseos

Very nice indeed. I’ve not seen that colour dial before, it’s beautiful. Congratulations.

Looking for a new crystal for my A3642 and I can't find anything 😕 Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Have you tried posting in the Wanted to Buy forum. I put a posting there a few years ago for one of these. A member reached out and sold me a replacement crystal that he had. It was the thicker domed one with the proper bevel and it fit perfectly.

Thanks to all who gave me tips about sourcing a new crystal!

Here it is, my budget-Defy: damaged crystal, polished case, a generic service crown and a StrapsCo ladder bracelet ::psy::

Quick update. Watchmaker installed a new crystal and what a difference it makes!

I have been SO tempted by these. It's one that I think requires a leap of faith in that the case shape is so polarizing I will know within a second whether or not I love it or it's not for me. Wish I could try one on in real life beforehand. The original ladder bracelet's are beautiful on these.

Straight from service. I have had this one since 2016 but it was not until this February I got around to leave it with the watchmaker. Bought for a song (equivalent to circa 500 USD) locally (Sweden) in used and/but honest condition. According to markings inside the caseback it has been serviced four times prior to this.

Not much stretch in the bracelet and quite sharp edges on the case. Diver extention working distinctly. Really like the dome on the glass. I like this one!
