MatBat Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hello everyone, I'd like to put an acrylic glass on the DJ 16200 case from Rafflesdials. It comes with a saphire glass that is 2mm thick and has a lower diameter of 29.5mm and the upper one 30.5mm. I found the 25-135 acrylic glass from Clarks, it is compatible? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Crystal-Ref-25-135-135-for-Rolex-New-034-Clark-034-/254747888383?nma=true&si=5tHUISd%2FSl8fXooWQbWrqF8XjY4%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 All genuine 160xx and 162xx case necks are the same OD...29.5mm. Bezels for both have the same ID...30.4mm. The difference is that bezels for 162xxx sapphire models are made taller so they will reach up far enough on the crystal gasket to hold the crystal in place. The 160xx bezels are not as tall and made to work with acrylic 135 crystals. They do not need to be as tall because they can still clamp the acrylic crystal sidewall to the case neck securely. So...a 162xxx case with a 135 crystal and 16000 bezel will work Ok and look good. The 162xx bezel will work but like I stated above, it is taller. I do not know the Raffles case neck OD and bezel ID. Aftmkt cases and bezels may not be oem spec so a bezel for a 162xx case may not be as tall as a genuine bezel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
