Guest rg21044 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 Does anyone have any recent experience with cartel 1680 subs and gen spec/Clark crystals? Is there still a problem with the cyclops and date window not lining up?
Mendota Explorer Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 Just put a T-19 on there and you won't have any issues. B):lol: I know it is with the Puretime version and the one that Ryan sources, but I am not sure about Josh or Andrew's.
Guest rg21044 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 Funny you say that. I just changed my order from Clarks to a T-19 from a 127. I thought it it had something to do with the movement. The rep I have is running an ETA clone. I think the eta date wheel aperture will line up but I'm not sure.anyone know the answer?
Mendota Explorer Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 With the Puretime version the date window is in the ETA position. I'm not sure about the others, but that is why the cyclops is shifted when using that particular version. My guess is the others are also the same, especially if they come with ETA movements. With that being said, people have used gen spec crystals and have said it really isn't that big of a deal. The quality improvement of the crystal itself makes up for the slightly off-kilter position. I personally really like the look of the T19, so I lean that direction!
Guest rg21044 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Thank you for the info. That is unfortunate as I really like the "tophat" look, but the offset cyclops would get to me. Maybe I'll just go T-39 Superdome...but Clarks version of the 39 is over $60. Not really expensive, but a far cry from $10-$20. Edited August 7, 2015 by rg21044
Mendota Explorer Posted August 9, 2015 Report Posted August 9, 2015 There are some Sternkreuz crystals that are really nice. They might have a T39 replacement. I can never figure out how to size those Sternkreuz, but the ones I have seen in builds all have a really nice profile shape, excellent clarity, and the price is less than Clark.
Guest rg21044 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Thanks. I researched them a little, but I can't figure out which one I need. Edited August 9, 2015 by rg21044
Mendota Explorer Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks. I researched them a little, but I can't figure out which one I need. Same here. I want the T19 service dome but I can't figure out which one is the correct one. Clark makes it so easy. He just says exactly what it is and whether it is the super dome or service dome profile. That's really convenient and smart on his part.
Guest rg21044 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 I also bought this....Watch Crystal PA462-19H A18 for Rolexi don't know if it is what I want /need, but we will see.
