Thank you for taking time to respond to my problem. The top edge could be re-bevelled as you have suggested, but it has a fairly large chip, a good 1/32 down from the top so the bevel would be conspicuously different from the original.
I prefer to leave the blemish since I don't have any expertise in removing lenses.
Some history:
I began collecting watches last winter, purchasing some Accutrons that I remember from my university years when I couldn't afford to buy them. As a musician, my mother owned and enjoyed an Accutron 440 Hz (Concert 'A') watch and I began by purchasing one like she had back in the sixties. I then began collecting other models of accutrons and ended my Bulova series with a few LED watches. I became attracted to some of the Pulsars on the market and I have purchased a few of these, culminating in the green LED watch that was on e-bay recently. It is a beautiful watch, except it looks like it was scrubbed across something marring the top of the crystal. Otherwise it is perfect, with box and papers and provenance since it came from the original purchaser.
I realize that I am quite late in getting into Pulsar collecting, as most of the spare parts are long gone, but I will perservere and if I am able to obtain a green screen I will definitely send it off to the experts on this forum for installation in the watch.
Otherwise, I would only ask that you keep your ears and eyes open for something that I may miss.
Thank you again for your responses. I am thankful for this forum and totally impressed with the dedicated collectors that frequent it and devote so much time to helping other collectors.
