T21 crystal? Which is best?

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

Shopping around for some parts for my cartel 6263 for an economical build. 

Which is the best crystal? Gens are going for approx 150 euro and aftermarket ones (Clark) are less than 10!

 

Is there a good side by side comparison of the clark (or other service item) and a gen crystal?

 

Would prefer to allocate the money to a dial, bezel if the crystals are pretty much identical.

 

thanks in advance

Have a couple 25-21 and imho they do not look much different from a good aftmkt crystal, Clark's for example.  Can not compare the dimensions because they are in a sealed plastic bag but I seriously doubt they are worth today's price for a non genuine project watch.  Btw I paid $18 each for the genuine crystals.

 

Of course everyone in the 'rolex purist cult' can point out at least 5 major flaws in any aftmkt rolex crystal. 

 :gathering:   "I can tell the difference from 20 feet away!"

Thanks Tomhorn.

Interesting lhooq said that the SK it's closest to the original domed version, but most seem to prefer the new gen T21 with bevelled edge.

He also says "Aftermarket versions of the new-style T21 exist"

Does anyone know a source for these... It's been 10 years since this was posted 🙂
