The B model is just a round cover. It appears, based on the case back markings, that the cases were made by different German makers... the earlier version says "RP" and the B model says "KJ". <br /><br />I don't know if the B model should have a white (silver) reflector ring crystal or not. The crystal that came out didn't have one. The bezel opening is definitely smaller but only by less than 1mm so that's not a huge visual difference. But it's a significant difference when it comes to proper fitting crystals.HandyDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083270175066343104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-82652199270207522242016-08-02T15:25:47.084-07:002016-08-02T15:25:47.084-07:00Very cool looking watch, as always very impressive...Very cool looking watch, as always very impressive work. <br />You mentioned that the case backs were similar but not exactly the sameness, what was the difference?<br />The other thing I noticed was the crystals you replaced between the Sea Scount and the B model are different in size, did the overall case dimensions change from model to model?...thanks, DbHBillyBob Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636032542225838746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-6880663162206150942016-08-02T14:00:55.229-07:002016-08-02T14:00:55.229-07:00That is really stunning.
