Hey guys, I am looking to purchase, a super avenger crystal, I have this beautiful factory super avenger diamond edition, but it seems at some point in its life someone had tried to polish the rider tabs, without regard to the A/R coating. So under certain angles I can see the spot around with tabs where the A/R was rubbed off. I was planning on selling the watch, and i think that it would be better to have the crystal replaced before putting it up for sale.

Thanks

If you get a crystal and then have a non authorised watchmaker fit it you are more likely to hurt the value in my opinion than leaving it as is and letting hte buyer have it replaced as part of a factory service if they so choose.
