I am on a Safari mod high at the moment ) so wanted to check if the Gen crystal would fit the rep? Also where would be the best place to look for a Gen crystal please? thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 The answer is a definitive sort-of. It takes some bezel rework. The gen crystal is a good 1mm higher and it is also shaped slightly different using two contact points and two gaskets. The height implies that you either modify the inner bezel or the crystal sits somewhat higher than in the gen. I believe I have a post somewhere here comparing the two. So it is not impossible but not plug and play either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually told OP in a PM that the data cyclops on the gen crystal would not fit directly over the rep date wheel.. Was I incorrect? Or is there no cyclops? I have NEVER seen a loose gen ROO crystal and I am curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 You lost me on this one. The date cyclops is mounted on the movement and pokes through the dial. The crystal has no cyclops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Alvin, the problem with the cyclops your mentioning has to do with fitting gen dials to the 7750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
