rogerthat Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Just bought a gen crystal: 25-295-C1 on Ebay. Received it but I would like to be able to tell if it is indeed gen. Did come in a printed Rolex polybag but the sealing of the bag looks like something any one could do themselves with an inexpensive machine. I have a loupe in hand, shouldn't I see a faint crown etching in the 6 o'clock position under a loupe, cause I don't see anything? Please help; paid $200 for it and want to make sure I got what I paid for, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vizsladog Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 the gen's crown is VERY hard to see at 6:00. You usally need a loupe to see it. It also could be an older cyrstal and not have the crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray T Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 bc watchparts is very reliable. The crystal is real. I picked up a dented up crystal without etching for 25 shipped a while back =) just a nick or 2 on the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, M Yes M.. looks like everything is legite.. here's the pic from the seller spell it all small caps no spacing ...bcwatchparts make sure you note in the comment box 25-295 C-2 ... not C-1 as the 2 has the thicker gasket we need for the WM9 .. otherwise you will get the thinner C-1 gasket..

I trust this is the old version. There is no crown etching at 6. It shouldn't really bother you nayway as no one is goibg to look at your watch with a loupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
