gplracer Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 What is the gen crystal for the 7032? Does Clarks have one and is it as good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Cyclope 128. Clark doesn't have an equivalent and it can be a difficult crystal to source. Then again, if you're willing to spend $400, you can get one quite easily! I'm wondering about the 7206, though. Hadn't Rolex dropped riveted bracelets by the time the 7031 first showed up?

coolfire Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Yessir- I've got a gen 78360 on mine Thinking of getting a gen one too. Cyclope 128. Clark doesn't have an equivalent and it can be a difficult crystal to source. Then again, if you're willing to spend $400, you can get one quite easily! I'm wondering about the 7206, though. Hadn't Rolex dropped riveted bracelets by the time the 7031 first showed up? If one is really seeking satisfaction in a 7032, then all I can say is that getting a gen T128 is worth it. As Ubi says, "Quality over quantity"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gplracer Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Good question! So what is the deal with the crystal? Is it no longer in production? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 25-128's are just ridiculously expensive... And difficult to find... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 The 128 - is it the same as another one but with the date cyclops added? If so, what's to say a cyclops couldn't be removed off an easily available crystal (sub, for example) and then glued on the similar-to-128?

ubiquitous Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 The interesting thing about the 7031/7032 is the size of the crystal needed. It is much larger in diameter than most, hence making it rather unique. I do not know of a crystal of similar size sans cyclops. The only other crystal that I know of that is similar in size is the 25-130, however that has the cyclops oriented for a 3:00 date window...

chiman12 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Member X...IMO...unlike the cyclops on sapphire crystals. It's very difficulty or next to impossible to remove a cyclops from an acrylic crystal without damaging it. I've tried a couple times, none with success and gave up...

Member X Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Ah, fair enough - that's the one new thing I've learnt today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiman12 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Just got the DW in the mail today! Here are the pics. After handling the Yuki cases, I'm very impressed with the DW case. Great price point for this case, considering that you get a proper bezel (225 is in proper place) and a proper crystal. The CG's are nice and square. The engraving on the case back is surprisingly nicely defined. The only thing is the engravings between the lugs. I hope this is a temporary thing for DW. Experts! Please chime it!!!!

That was a very nice surprise, especially for those who might want to save up a bit before splurging on the gen! Do you have an incoming dial?

Do you have an incoming dial? Hey M! I already have a dial for this project. I was still scouring for the proper handset and the proper bezel. With this DW case, I can now swap parts between my Yuki case and come up with a half decent 7032. Yuki mentioned that the hand set should be in the second week of June...I think that is what DW mentioned also...hhhmmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
