Mak413 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hello, I am wondering if someone can help. So I sourced a genuine rolex crystal to put on my TC Sub form a dealer on the Rolex Forum. The crystal came sealed in rolex packaging with two gaskets. I had one of our trusted watchmakers install the crystal for me. This weekend I had the watch worked on by a local watchmaker that was willing to work on my watch and he said there is no way my crystal is genuine. Is there a way to tell if the crystal that was installed on my watch is genuine or a replica? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Seamaster Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Well, you bought in on the RLX forum, it was sealed bnib. Seems more to me that your local watch guy don’t know what he is talking about.If someone on the RLX forum is selling rep parts/ fakes he gets roasted in 3 seconds.

projectologist Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 If it has a LEC, based on what that looks like is an easy way to tell. Also, how the edges of the cyclops are finished is another easy way to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
