Is there any kind of chart that lists which crystal goes with which model number?

I've got a few projects in the works, and trying to learn/verify which crystals to order. I assume the Raffles Dials cases I'm using take the OEM crystals...but would appreciate verification on this as well.

Explorer 1016 would use a Tropical 21 or 22 from Clark's. One is the OEM and would would be more like the service crystal, correct?

And since I've got your attention, for a Submariner 5513 and 5517 (and I assume the similar 5512 and 5514), I'd need a T19?

A 1680 would use...which crystal?

Would the 34mm 5500 Explorer or Air King also use a T21 or T22, or do those use something different? Not sure if the crystal opening is the same size.

The 5700 Air King or Explorer with DATE (I assume same as the Oyster Perpetual Date) uses...?

Thanks so much, too many projects stalled and waiting for parts and for me to have uninterrupted time, it's hard to keep everything organized, lol.

The 34mm case uses a T12- T13 with cyclops. It is a beveled edge crystal
I donr think he has a domed crystal for 34 mm.

EDIT this domed crystal fits the 34mm cases. N Sternkreuz 29.4 low dome crystal. I got mine from cousins but other places that sell the Sternkreuz should have it

I donr think he has a domed crystal for 34 mm. I have another brand tbat fits however I am not at my bench atm so will report back later.
Thank you so much. I keep going from bottleneck to bottleneck, lol, and every simple project has a way of turning into a major one. I do blame you, personally, and your accomplices in the 1016 thread.
That said, if this watch collecting thing doesn't work out, I've just about got enough equipment and parts to open up my own (rep) Rolex AD.

T12 for a beveled edge crystal that fits raffles 34mm case.
34mm cases - . N Sternkreuz 29.4 low dome crystal - cousins
T19 superdome fits the 5513 sub cases and I believe the 6538 cases
25-116 Clarks fits BP / CARTEL 1675 1655 case sets
