clem2192 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem2192 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Thanks - Is that the genuine crystal number ?? 25-295 or 25-295 C2 ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem2192 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Does this look genuine ?? I've heard horror stories regarding parts from Italy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROLEX-SAPHIR-CYCLOP-GLASS-ref-25-295-CY1-FIT-Datejust-Oysterquartz-Day-Date-/230823984178?pt=Orologi_da_Polso&hash=item35be2e7c32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 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.

alligoat Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem2192 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Is there a part number for the gen AR cyclops crystal for the 16610 that replaced the 25-295 C2 ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
