datejust crystal size

[rkdk]

Hello everyone, I gave my girl a franken datejust (mens size), with an original 70s case. During our recent holiday, the crystal just popped of. We could find it, so know im looking for a new one.

Do any of you rolex guys know what the crystal is called? the one in the watch was plastic, but if would be really nice to put in a saphire one. I guess i can dig up one on ebay, but i need the name.

Cheers

Rune

The plastic crystal for the 16014/16013/16030 is a T-135, as I recall. Clarks watch Supply sells it on ebay- look for nostalgia2000. I don't know if they have the sapphire conversion crystal or not- but you can find it on ebay- that's where I see it all the time.

There is an earlier crystal for the 1601 Datejust which I'm not sure of- that watch was produced from the early 60's to late 70's, but frankens are typically made with the 16000 series and 16200 series cases.

This is the aftermarket T-135

the one for the 1601 is a T-118

The 16200's take a 295-C1 sapphire crystal.
