Changing noob v3 crystal question

Hello! I have a quick question someone may be able to help me with. I have a version 3 Noob 111n and my crystal has a scratch in it so I wanted to replace it. A trusted dealer said they can source a new crystal but they said it will be the lastest factory offering which I guess is the V4. I was wondering will a v4 crystal fit a v3 case?

Also I've never changed a Pam crystal before. I've changed crystals on TC submariners I'm not sure if changing a Pam crystal is similar? I've searched using the search function and googled how to change a Pam crystal but all I can come up with it how to remove the bezel assembly of a Pam showing how it all comes off in one piece i.e. Crystal, bezel, gasket. If you guys know of a tutorial or some pointers that would be extremely helpful! Thank you so much for your help!

Well, first tip, you got to have the right tools. A crystal press is required to refit the new crystal (you can also use it to get the old crystal out but pushing the crystal from the inside will generally get it loose).

Try contacting @Grimlocktime I saw him post before when a member was inquiring the same thing.
