nickee Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Dear all, I've bought a used crystal, sold to me as gen rolex tropic 19. Someone know how to spot if is a fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtguk Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I'm far from an expert on these but from what I've seen the aftermarket crystals still give quite a bit of dial distortion whereas the Gen crystals do not give any at all hope this helps a bit !

nickee Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Oh it was a used part so probably it was dismantled from a watch. So no package Inviato dal mio XT910 con Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hard to tell.I have a used Tropic 127 of which I'm not 100% sure that it's gen.The packaging isn't the clue when you are talking about a used tropic.What I know is that the clarity of a gen tropic is better as the replica crystals.Carpe DiemCatsSent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
