It’s a roll of the dice however the GBP is pretty weak against the dollar currently so nows a good time to buy british goods.
guessing it looks like a 2 or 2.5mm but you could get yourself a cheap plastic veneer caliper on amazon, take a measurement. I get my dress watch spring bars on ebay but Uncle Seiko sells these thicc ones as well. They're cheap 👍
scratches on sapphire? I wear only vintage, and am very carful with with I wear so I'm not familiar with how sapphire behaves long term. I was under the impression is that need something harder than itself to scratch(like diamond) but that it's also much more brittle than glass so it does shatter. Regardless, changing a crystal is easy, especially if it's not a dive watch. In this instant it would mean popping the bezel off and install a new Crystal. It's about as easy as it gets for a watchmaker(besides changing a gasket perhaps) so I would have it done. A fresh crystal makes the watch feel new.
Thank you for such a thoughtful response to my unmediated frustration! I‘ve only made myself aware of the k1 recently and it’s very heartening to see contributions to the field such as a movement. I think that’s what I was getting at. Keep up the good work.
I would suggest staying away from Credor as well. Seikos even higher end then GS, Japanese market only.
it’s bonkers that it was even that close. Hajime Asaoka is maybe one of a handful of truly independent watchmakers. Many leagues apart.
