FlipLockBuckle Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) Hey friends, Happy New Year to all of you, and a kickin start into the fabulous 2007. Today I received my genuine 295C sapphire crystal, but it seems to be a little bit smaller (diameter) and thinner in comparison to the rep one. I cant check if it's gonna fit right now as i sent in my case to a very nice and helpful member who was willing to help me out with my gen-tube-problem. However, i am very confused now and im wondering if it's gonna fit...what do you think? Do you think that my doubts are justified, or do you think the new gasket will do it? Thank you all, Flip Edited January 2, 2007 by FlipLockBuckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 295C is a genuine sapphire w/ cyclops for Rolex Submariner, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 You just never know until you try, but on my older CN subs, the crystal diameter is 30.5mm. I haven't messed w/ the CN2006's since the date mag is OK. The 295C is 29.5mm. And it will fit a gen Sub, GMT or Datejust with the sapphire crystal, so all you need is one of those and you're in business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 After years and years of copying the Sub... the never got it right. I think it's time they try a 1:1 procedure like used for the Ingenieur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it has the proper size i think it should be no big deal to assemble the 295c to it then. I think I should take photos of my work Edited January 6, 2007 by FlipLockBuckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
