Recommended Posts

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 ! :)

Actually my first choice would be Star Time and then Clark's. The WSO crystal isn't to my liking

Clark is a good choice

I agree one of the best aftermarket crystals on the market

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 ?

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 awhile

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

The ST crystal is pretty darn good. For the non AR and non coronet vintage

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.

Unfortunatly i am not able to order from Startime as i am not a professional like you said :unsure:

 

I think Clark is not that bad !

 

Thanks for your help guys :)

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.
