Where do other forum members buy Gen Crystals, Dials etc?
Ive checked Ebay and chrono24 looking for a gen 116234 crystal, or a 116619 dial (probably will never find this one) and was curious if the community has any other resources.

For Gen parts I find deals on ebay, that said, I can look for many years to find what I want. I consider it like a treasure hunt. As with many things in life, if you are in a hurry, you could lose your tail.

Yup, ebay. I'll buy random parts even if I don't have a build in mind yet if I see a good deal.

Ask some of the guys on this forum like GrimlockTime and BananaSplit. They sell lots of new genuine Rolex parts in the sales section. Maybe they have access to items we rarely see. Just an idea.

Be patient...I’ve been scouting eBay, Chrono24 and the m2m rep forums...it takes time. Eg, got a gen DSSD crystal from m2m, including the donor watch, for half the price of the crystal alone on eBay and Chrono24.
Usually you get better luck with Rolex, price is the only issue...other brands are harder/more scarce and much more pricey (Patek or Vacheron).
