Not sure, but you could get a sapphire crystal from these people. www.krysworks-store.com I had replaced my real vintage plastic Rolex sub crystal with a sapphire one and it looks good and no more scrathes.

I highly doubt it. My guess is that the MBW sapphire/mineral glass crystal is bigger than a 295C. FYI, 295C is 29.5mm. I'd bet the MBW is 30.5mm give or take- that's what the other rep crystals have run in my experience. But you can always pop your crystal and measure it with a set of digital calipers- that would be your best bet.

sorry Aligoat,

are you sure gen 16610 crystal il 29.5mm??

I get one measure of my Gen 16610 TT crystal and the MBW 16610 crystal.

Gen crystal wont fit MBW16610

Only the vintage MBW's accept gen crystals.

Gen bezel insert will fit MBW16610 but may need some minor sanding to get an exact fit
