rosnik Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 The FACT: Yesterday, after a tennis section, dressing my GEN GMT II, it flipped out from my hand to the floor; I get it in my hands and discovered the CRACK, the crystal was gone. When I come home I find on my workbench a gen 295c-2 crystal ready for a future project, so I opened my 16710. I replaced the crystal, I get a fast ( homemade ) waterproof testing. Then I get all on the ultrasonic washer too. I'll get again the waterproof testing from a profy watchmaker this week during too. et voilà! Guys, take in count that only one year ago, I was not able to remove one link on my bracelet too. Now I'm able to replace a Crystal too! Thank you RWG for all the knowledge I get from the forum! And............. thank you for the tips Domenico get to me every time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosnik Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 1 year ago Rolex would have charged you a complete service too ... Yes! In this crystal changing , I involved grace and lube all the gasket too. A lot of money saved. Wile, a friend like Domi, was helpful for me too.
