Smoke / All -

I was wondering if anyone can break down what the various components of the ref number mean (ex. B25-295-CAR-V5-C1)

B25: ???
295: ???
CAR: Cyclops / Anti-reflect
V5: ???
C1: ???

I ask because I am building a YM (40mm) 116622. Based on previous research I purchased a B25-295-CAR-V5-C1 crystal. But this thread lists the "V3" version for the 116622. I am trying to figure out if i need to buy a new crystal, or if the V3 vs V5 is just a gasket or something.

Appreciate any help!

or Rolex b25-318-c-v4-v1 ?

The ARF DJ41 126334 took B25-318-c2-c1. Probably VSF will be the same.

No sure but b25-318-c-v4-v1 is probably the same but with different gasket sizes in the package.

Is a gen gasket necessary when installing a gen crystal in the ARFv3 datejust? Or will the ARF gasket be OK?

Looking for Gen Xtal for DJ41 and found some for b25-318-c-v4-v1, think it should work?

No date gen xtal vs rep dial with Cyclops removed is not much diffent. So I would not bother with a gen no date xtal

Interesting! Got dragged back in after the latest necrobump by [mention]McPwn [/mention] only to read this.

Been on the fence about replacing my Noob/BK/PBDad 114060 for ages... thanks once again [mention]smoke [/mention] ;)

Hi,

I’ve read the xtal guide by OP - which is an incredible guide thank you. But I’m slightly confused, I got offered this… but the numbers don’t match the sequence on this thread for 16610… is this still accurate for 16610 - as in no AR on cyclops. I just wanted to check as this is “b25-295-c4-c1” and not “b25-295-c2-c4”
