Ultimate Sea Dweller - swap crystal

[d4v1d]

Hey folks,

I really want to swap the crystal of my ultimate SD for a more gen like one. It this possible and where to source it?

Thanks!

Great thread lets see what the experts say I'm on the same boat!

I don't see why it's not possible but I read some where -although im not sure- that's not possible.

The stock crystal sucks. Would be awesome to have a more gen like crystal in it.

Consider TC hands and dial also.

Well, the first order of business is to remove the crystal and measure it with a set of calipers. On my late model SSD v2, that's what I did. Then jmb ordered a plain 29.5mm mineral crystal from Jules Borel I believe, and I installed it. Only drawback is that it's not WR, but I haven't tried to seal it with silicone or G-S Hypo-cement yet. It might be a 29.5 x 1.5mm crystal, but I'm not sure and the stuff is at home which is not where I am at this moment.

The sides on this crystal are straighter which is more correct for the SD.
