tomyeshuah Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Will the Clark's Crystal Ref. # 25-108 fit and align with this Silix 6694 date-wheel? cgi.ebay.com/Crystal-Ref-25-108-108-Rolex-New-CLARK-/230372522716?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35a345badc silix-prime.com/rols048-p-1468.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 It fits, but it won't align w/ the DW. Been there, done that. I bought a T-12 and turned my 6694 into a MKII Explorer I Unfortunately the MKII dials are no longer available, but you could get a Yuki 5500 Explorer dial and build a nice Explorer rep with the case and a T-12.

jmb Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 They made Explorers in a 34mm case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yep, they're 5500's and had a 1530/1520 non chronometer movement. Typically said 'Precision' on the dial at the bottom, instead of SCOC or the older OCC. The 1016 (36mm)would have had a 1560/1570 movement- chronometer grade.

jmb Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Aha! Another use for one of my 34mm cases. I need to build a cousin for my Ranger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 A dial from Yuki would be easy enough http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6380817/6203058.htm But you really need to check with our buddy M, he's the best judge of Explorer dials. Maybe he might even have a spare... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If you see Kay Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) The only thing you can do is get a non cyclops crystal and get Finedd (uwe) to glue on a 2.5x crystal on for you. Mind you the crystal will be acrylic and the cyclops will be glass, but that didn't seem to be an issue when I contacted Uwe. by the way, you'll also want to get a datewheel overlay on that Silix too, as the datefont is butt FUGLY Edited February 5, 2011 by If you see Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
