I bought a dozen of after market crystals that appear to be rolexes from an estate sale couple weekends ago. I am a clueless replica hoarder without good knowledge in rolex parts so I have no idea what model the crystals I bought are for. All I know is the xtals have 34mm in diameter and 1.9mm in thickness. It is flat; not domed. It looks to be a sapphire because it has a sticker on it, and I don’t think it has AR coating.

If you smoke could identify the crystals, I greatly appreciate it. Or if you want to test/fit it, I can send you one; free.

do you know which reference is for the 6 digit datejust?

Same as sub c12 c1

@efarjri thanks for the offer but I would not think the xtals would be gen modern xtals

smoke REALLY THANK YOU!

I have some curiosity that would like to satisfy.
All crystals ends with C1, and I read in another thread that the final "C1" is related to the quantity of the item inside the blister (the gaskets are not considered in this case).
Curious wht the 16610 have a final C4 ...

Anyway: 5 digits are no longer produced, what crystal Rolex will put on them when they enter for a service?
They still have the old 25-295-C2 or they put the new 25-295-C12?

And last, but not the least: on the 16610 mister smoke you reported only one crystal reference code, but what version is it? I mean: with LEC and AR, only LEC or neither?

16610 uses c2/c4 read guide
Any 40mm xtal fits in any 40mm watch.but the list is of the part numbers of the xtals that ship with the gen watches from the rolex factory

So this mean I can use the 40mm Daytona crystal for a 40mm 16610 to roll with no date window?
