The No Rads, and the Civilian Milspecs came with the big crown;

Best,
Nicolas
PS; Have an eye on our blancpain forum, you will see many good examples.

Brian - Thanks for the additional information. It also appears that the tube size is 2.5 mm and the domed crown needs to be quite high to accommodate a fairly long tube. Thanks again. Frank
