Which Crystal ? HELP

[clem2192]

Hi,

Just looking into gen crystals for my 16610 sub build, intention is to use either TC or Sean case.

There seems to be many variants for crystals (25-135, 25-116 etc..)

Can someone please enlighten me to the differences / options that are available for my intended build ??

Cheers

Ryan

Thanks - Is that the genuine crystal number ?? 25-295 or 25-295 C2 ??

Any crystal with 25-295 will fit. The C2 is the gasket number, not part of the crystal number, but sometimes you see them written together.

Does this look genuine ??

 

I've heard horror stories regarding parts from Italy

Do never ever buy from Italy via ebay they say...

Well...I did sometimes and never had been disappointed...buy the seller as always

 

As for me I can say I wouldn't buy this crystal just because it's packed horrible, seems to be dirty and/or scratched and the wrapping doesn't look gen to me.

The C in 25-295 C2 is for Cyclops with the #2 gasket. There's 25-295-1 for a Daytona- no cyclops, and 25-295-C1 for like a Datejust.

[clem2192]

Is there a part number for the gen AR cyclops crystal for the 16610 that replaced the 25-295 C2 ??

Have some personal experience dealing with an Italy seller. Lets just say its best to avoid them. Luckily the loss I took was minimal. Check TRF for some crystal sales. Although they do charge a slight premium there.
