Thank you a lot! Well it's pretty clear i defenetly need a gen crystal for my build.

I can tell from your pics that the gen crystal has a nice smooth rounded edge unlike my bp's edge which is sharp. It's not cloudy though, actually it's pretty clear and shiny but the angle is diffrent and as you and others said taller.

I'd appreciate some more pics if you have.

I've ordered a 2824 bpsd hoping the cgs will be correct so i'm gonna try to install a gen crystal myself. If i fail i'll contact Adrian for sure.

Gasket:

As i just told Pippo by pm here is my possible simple solution to a rather complex problem.

Bp crystal housing has an inside diameter of 30-30.5mm while the stock bp gasket is 0.5mm thick.

I'll make a custom (teflon maybe) gasket tommorow that is 30mm im diam (outside diam) and 1.5mm thick at a local shop speciallised in making all sorts of custom seals and gaskets for hidraulics etc.

This way i'll maybe be able to press the gen crystal without any problem.

The WR wouldn't be that good but ot should still allow amateur diving i guess.

If the gasket proves too thick for the current crystal hausing depth then the case needs to be modded.
