Bestest crystal (lens, bezel) - kcraig514 - 07-02-2014
Anybody out there got a good crystal (lens, bezel) for a Bestest indicator? I think it's a model 3010, 28mm (?)

Are they easy to change? I also have a Tessa DTI with a Gold face that I'd like to swap with a yellow one if it's doable at home!

I don't know about plastic or glass. I'm sure it was domed. I don't have it, it popped off and disappeared into Neverland.

Think I'll leave mine alone then. It works fine, just don't like the colour much! Wonder why they chose Gold?
