irolexu Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 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.

sneed12 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 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.

irolexu Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
