What crystal ring are you referring to???

There is one solution in the post immediately above yours. Personally I keep an assortment of gaskets on hand and pick the one that produces the best level of date magnification as the first priority with crystal sitting height as a close second goal.

Which crystal gasket should I use?

I'm in the same situation. I have a Pepsi CF GMT V3 and got myself a gen crystal. I took it to a watch maker who told me it won't fit. I didn't ask him if he tried the CF gasket or the gen one (not sure the gasket was in the package, but I think so).

If I understand your other post correctly, I should find a 3.1 mm or a 2.85mm gasket for the gen crystal?

I have had the best luck using a 2.7mm gasket with the gen crystal. Seems to have the most accurate date magnification to me.

What about the concern that it won't fit? And where should I look for gaskets? Ebay?

Esslinger or Cousins UK, buy 1 from each if you are concerned about fitment.

I'm planning to use a sub 40mm VSF crystal. Please advice gasket brand and height to achieve 2.5x magnification.

I have a gen crystal, bezel, click spring, hydro ring, and insert on the way. Just bought a 2.7mm gasket in hopes that it will complete the install. Can't wait!
