vlydog Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Sorry, I can not confirm that this is the right part but may I ask why you are opting to replace it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_sphere Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 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.

Ray T Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Crystal WILL swap, ask him for the C2 gasket. i have one on my PT sub, which is a WM9 essentially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ray Thanks I will do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklm1234 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 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. -bk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cableguy Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 thanks to all who replied...i now have one of the correct crystals in route to me. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 For clarification: Clarks crystal number is - Rolex 25- 295-C As for the gasket ask for a C2 Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_sphere Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
