Help: Crystal tension ring

[Rolexman]

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

Try this. Select the crystal gasket from the drop down menu

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.
