(5) Glue structure, only the glass position will leave glue marks. To compensate for this deficiency, the bottom edge of the glass will be edged and printed. The unilateral width of the plated edge is generally 65-70C. In principle, the color of the plated edge should be the color of the plated back shell.

(6) The structural diameter of Type I glass is 50° larger than the housing opening (both sides).

(7) Viscose structure, the glass size is 100C larger than the shell mouth (both sides).

(8) Glass hardness: Normal glass hardness is 5 to 6 degrees on the Morse scale. Sapphire has a Mohs hardness of 9, second only to diamonds with a hardness of 10. Therefore, sapphire glass is not easy to wear and has a smooth surface. Of course, the cost will be higher.

Note that the diagonal corner of the inner cover of the square case is 30-50°C smaller than the case hole. To design the tooth base structure, the box line hole needs a gong cover rice pit at the 9H position, and the inner cover also needs a corresponding convex rice position. Its function is to fix the inner cover and the hole when the bottom cover is assembled and rotated to keep the inner cover in place, and the general design of the inner cover compression: is 20-25C.
