Crystal, Gasket, Retaining Ring

[preacher62]

Please tell me if this is correct.

The crystal and gasket presses down over the outside of the rehaut ring (as far as it will go). Then the retaining ring is pressed over the crystal further tightening the crystal/gasket to the back of the rehaut and also providing a mounting mechanism for the bezel ring.

Is this the way it works? Does anyone have a pic of the case without a retaining ring or glass?

Question is...if the above is correct then will a gen retaining ring fit on a Clark crystal (295 C2) in an MBK 16610 case set?

I apologize for my ramblings but I, very much, respect the knowledge base here and just want to make sure that I have it right.

Thanks!

You've got the right order.

-Gasket fits over the rehaut lip

-Crystal presses into the gasket

-Crystal ring next

-Then washer

-Add click

-Fit bezel ring

-Fit insert so that it lines up with the click and press in slightly

-Remove bezel with insert partially installed and press fit the insert completely

-Fit bezel + insert

Here are some less than great pics of the crysal + gasket minus retention ring:

Hope this helps...

Ubi...thanks! That is exactly what I wanted to see.

In your experience, will a gen retaining ring fit on a Clark crystal (295 C2) in an MBK 16610 case set?

It should with Clarks, genuine 295C, etc. The biggest factor in fitting the ring will be the gasket, as that is what the ring seats against.
