$tingray Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi guys Todays choice of watch is a Rolex 'The Zigmeistermariner' 1680 fully modded and with genuine crystal etc. I never reallly never thought of it before but it looks like my crystal is "short" Anyone know how many mm there should be between top of crystal and bezelinsert?

$tingray Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Mine is ~ 2,2mm but I think that my insert is the issue. (The watch on the pic is genuine and not mine (unfortunately) but it seems that the original insert is more flat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 The gen looks the same as mine (euhh, should be the other way around) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I do not have a 1680, but there is about a 2.5mm rise on my gen T19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$tingray Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I do not have a 1680, but there is about a 2.5mm rise on my gen T19 That looks more like mine. I think that mine will end up like 2,5 with a better insert. Thank you for input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 $tingray you can remove your insert and "flatten" it against a hard surface. If it's conical now that eats up some of the high sidewall. You might need to sand its perimeter so it snaps in but flatter might look better. I've done that on most of mine.
