Will tropic 22 crystal fit on 160XX series case?

[stilty]

I'm wondering if a Tropic 22 crystal will fit on a Rolex 160xx series case? The measurements I've received for the Tropic 22 are: OD: 31.1mm, ID: 29.6mm, Height: 4.5mm

I believe the crystal for the 160xx series is Cyclopes 135. Does anyone have the measurements for comparison?

I'm trying to assemble parts for a nice vintage franken project!

thanks!

Well, I guess no one knows?

Anyway, I found out the info I needed, so figured I would share, cuz that is what good members should do.

The inside diameter on the cyclops 135 is 29.5mm, so the diameter of the tropic 22 is 0.1mm bigger, so that will fit, may need a bit of crystal cement?

The outside diameter on the cyclops 135 is 30.7mm, so the diamater on the Tropic 22 is 0.4mm bigger, so I will have to sand off a bit to re-fit the bezel.

Now to find the parts at a good price. Not an easy task.

Can you post your source for these specs please, I need some info on a T116 and T19 amongst others.

Thanks

I used a t21 which has an inner diameter of 29.5 was told a tropic 16 and 10 have the same 29.5.
