Rolexfinder Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 What model you are looking for the crystal? Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbiz Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 only their manual crystal will fit a rep case... their auto will not. Either way they use a very strong heavy blue AR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen auto pams with cyclops take 3.5mm thick crystals and reps take closer to 2.5mm... there's no exceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbiz Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 you can buy one if you want but they will not fit in an auto rep cases period. They are Gen replacement crystals... Gen auto crystals are roughly the same thickness as manual crystals... 3.5mm thick... rep auto crystals are about 1mm thinner... if a WO auto crystal would fit in a rep case then you'd have seen dozens of builds featuring a Gen auto crystal as well as dozens of WO crystals... but there has been to this day, zero auto builds with either crystal. Gen manual crystals will fit a lot of rep cases because the rep crystals for manual reps are roughly 3.5mm thick. I currently own all the crystals I've mentioned and have posted all this information before... just a warning for anyone who is contemplating wasting $145...

btocamelo Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 no offense to Tanya or Rex but that's definitely not a WO crystal... I'm confused now...so that WO Auto Cystal won't work on either DSN or Cartel PAMs........jeez.......I remember someone was working on getting a batch of "ultimate-style" crystals made.............

kbiz Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 oh stop... heh that's still a possibility... Yeah way back in time... in the very beginning of Pam reps... someone decided along the way to make the Pam auto cases to accept a crystal that's about 2.5mm thick so that a cyclops could be glued to the underside... this was before the sandwich crystals came out. This thinner than Gen auto cryatal tradition of sorts continued... so now if you have a Gen auto crystal or WO auto crystal you'll need a Gen case to use it... unless you're ok with about 1mm of crystal sticking out the top... that's why the only decent options for a rep auto case are DSN's newest 2 piece crystal (slightly better than horrible) or the legendary ultimate crystal (which means you'll have to buy an entire watch and sell off the extra parts). The sad part is the rep cases can't even be machined to accept a Gen crystal as theres not enough metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
