My opinion - gen is the best. However you can also use Prof crystal with a clark gasket (to remove white milky effect)

i wonder if on blind test one would be able to notice the difference between gen crystal and rep one provided you changed the milky white gasket with a cousin <1$ one

Consensus seems to be that gen crystal is not considered worth it
Esslinger has a gasket also, cost me $12 IIRC.

I did this mod yesterday, I used a cousins gasket.. I did a dial swap at the same time. I don't think you need to change the crystal.

I do that for ALL my daytona as well.

Highly recommended!

Cousins gasket just as good as gen

I can tell a gen crystal on the wrist though. Any rolex model. It's not just the LEC, there's something about the finish of it that oozes Rolex
