TW best crystal gasket question?

[irolexu]

So I discovered on my franken datejust build using a genuine rolex gasket gave the date mag the perfect magnification. I was wondering if this little mod would help out the TW best. IMO the date mag on the TW is not as strong as it could be. I have already compared it to gen subs and they all have significantly stronger mag...I mean its close but I feel it could get better and I do want a gen crystal but for the mean time it would be great to find a little mod that would take this watch the extra mile! let me know experts what you guys think!! it worked a miracle on my DJ.

I switched out my TW crystal gasket for a taller one. I didn't feel that it had quite enough rise to the crystal direct from BK.

I can't imagine why you would want to spend the money on a gen gasket, though. A quality gasket is a quality gasket. I just got a taller one and shaved it to fit.

Did you get better date mag also can I see pics of the results!?! hey Sneed12 you happen to have DJ hands for a 2836-2 with lume lying around??

[sneed12]

Yes.

I will post a pic if I get some time.

No hands, sorry.

Ok no problem would really love to see it. Where did you get the gasket from (I already have a few gen ones around but I may save them if yours are good)

[sneed12]

I dunno. eBay maybe? The things are the next thing to free. You get like 2-3 in the bag when you order a Clark's crystal.

You have the same ones you used on your watch? Any spares?
