Ladies pulsar turns out to be Mens TC 5503 with auto flick

Spotted this on EBay a few weeks ago http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160637147022? ... _500wt_922 and thought it was worth a bid. Even though it was being sold as a Led for Her I could see it was a Men's 5503 Touch Command but did not know until it arrived yesterday that it had auto command also. The condition of the case and band is excellent and the glass is unchipped but it has a noticeable mask. Is anyone aware if this is typical of this watch?

Now if I could just get a non working Sport 3502 I could have a Sport with auto flick!

That "mask" is de-lamination . Your crystal is the synthetic Sapphire, probably made up of a relatively thick piece of the Sapphire, with a piece of red plastic film glued to the back of the Sapphire with a good quality clear silicone. You can redue the red film, but will generally lose the Pulsar logo, which is painted on the reverse/back of the Sapphire. Seems they were just painted on with some regular enamel paint.

If your glass happens to be one where it is a thickness of Sapphire bonded to an equal thickness of red glass, I think you are pretty much sunk. 'Course, you could just get a regular Dress watch's glass.

Thanks Ed - I may consider replacing the glass as the logo is hardly visible. I'll send you an email.
