Sorry, I can not confirm that this is the right part but may I ask why you are opting to replace it?

[cableguy]

to get rid of the huge laser etched crown that screams rep lol. my mbw's crown is waaaaay smaller. i wonder if the crystal will swap over. (doubt it)

[blue_sphere]

the crystal will swap.

Buy a gen crystal

Rolex 25- 295-C 295C2

Is the correct crystal/gasket

EDIT:

Opps read this wrong. Crystal will swap! Sorry for the confusion. I read it as if the gaskets would swap. C2 is thicker then C1. C2 is correct for the submariner.

Crystal WILL swap, ask him for the C2 gasket. i have one on my PT sub, which is a WM9 essentially

[cableguy]

Ray Thanks I will do that!

[bklm1234]

ray t is right, ask for c2 gasket. the crystal on the link is correct. btw, Clark is a perfect match for wm9 but too thick for MBK/Euromariner because MBK/Euromariner's bezel is thinner so the insert sits lower (that is after you recess the insert which is a proper thing to do for rollies) and therefore expose more crystal than it's supposed to. With Clark's 2.02mm thickness, the crystal just looks too tall. Again, not a problem for wm9. It's very nice nice looking.

I hope my pics will help you... They are supposed to be part of my mod review coming net few hours on the forum

Left: Clarcks Crystal packet, Right: WM insert

The Crystal after being installed... Look at the nice "dent" and the improved rehaut looking

[cableguy]

thanks to all who replied...i now have one of the correct crystals in route to me. =)

For clarification:

Clarks crystal number is - Rolex 25- 295-C

As for the gasket ask for a C2

Thanks.

[cableguy]

He listed Rolex 25- 295-C2 for me there are 2 more left.

Now....do i really need a crystal press or can i press it out with my thumbs and press it back in just as easily?

[blue_sphere]

Its not pressing in the crystal intself that is hard. Its pressing the retaining ring over the gasket after the crystal is on.

And yes you need a press or a rep friendly watchsmith!

[cableguy]

ok so its not similar to the noobmariner and such where u can press out and in the crystal without pulling off the bezel i guess. time to shop for a cheap press
