Rolexman Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 So I got me a new Explorer 2010. After servicing the movement I was about to water proof the case. I popped the crystal and than I noticed they glued the tension ring in place... After gently trying to repress the crystal I noticed the tension ring was getting lightly disformed. It was a really tight sqeeze. After that there was no way I could get the crystal in again. I end up prying the tension ring out which resulted in destroying it off course! I was able to get the following measurement with a digital caliper. Thick: 0,65 ~ 0,68 mm Hight: 1,45 ~ 1,50 mm Diameter: 31,84 ~ 31, 89mm Now this is the most important part: Where can I buy a new tension ring of this size? Thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Try this. Select the crystal gasket from the drop down menu http://www.esslinger.com/plasticigasketssoldperea-1.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mark You can also try Clarks - Nostalgia XXX on ebay, he has helped me out with a lot of thoose things with special requests on height etc, and yes he can get you only the crystal gaskets, just a couple of bucks and your good to go.
