themannier Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Hi guys ! Could you tell me where to source the best aftermarket chrystal, i mean which one has the best shape and the best cyclop ??? ( clarks, wso ?) Always use it with a 2,7mm gasket ? I know how looks like a gen chrystal because i had some gen 16610 before, but as i have never seen an aftermarket one, is there a big difference ? Thanks for you help ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy4010 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Actually my first choice would be Star Time and then Clark's. The WSO crystal isn't to my likingSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy4010 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Clark is a good choiceI agree one of the best aftermarket crystals on the market Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themannier Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Oh, ok....Startime is the first ? I didn't know them, thanks ! Then clarks ? Just to know, why startime takes the lead ? And the gasket is always a 2,7 mm ? Right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy4010 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 The Star Time bevel around the edge of the crystal is made just like Rolex...if I'm not mistaken I read somewhere that Gary at Clark's has the same crystal though...not for sure haven't ordered anything from Clark's in awhileSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eazye Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I would say clark first actually. I haven't seen the ST crystal. I have seen the clark crystal for a DJ II 41mm and it was pretty impressive for the price. It had the same black hole effect on the date like gen. You might have to play around with the gasket. Just ask Gary what's up. Tell him what you're looking for and he'll set you up. If anything get different size gasket just incase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indywatchguy Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Star time definitely if you can get an order with them. They told me they only deal with watchsmiths. Their bevel crystals are exactly the same as gen. Then Clark would be next choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly i am not able to order from Startime as i am not a professional like you said I think Clark is not that bad !

automatico Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 "(StarTime) They told me they only deal with watchsmiths. Their bevel crystals are exactly the same as gen." Their crystals are identical to oem in my experience. They offer two grades of sapphire crystals so be sure to get the swiss made version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
