Replacement crystal thickness?

Recommended Posts

Mr_B

I’ve got a OP39 and I’ve noticed there’s a small chip on the edge of the Crystal, where can I get a replacement in the UK?

I would give Cousins UK a try;

Does yours have a date cyclop? Not sure if cousins could source one with a cyclop.

May want to remove the old crystal and measure the diameter and thickness with a micrometer first.

No cyclops, I did go on there but there wasn’t a preset for the watch and have no idea what size and depth to order.

That's where one of these come in so handy.

Don't need to be expensive either, you can get them for under £20, and then you'll wonder how you managed without one!

Cousins is definitely the go to..... pricewise and choice.... it’s just finding the right size.  If you find one on ebay from a vendor that’s Rolex OP model specific, then, at best it will be from the same manufacturer stocked by Cousins but with a markup.  Even when you add VAT and standard postage on Cousins, they are still savvy for cost and availability.

Thanks guys. anyone know what depth the Crystal should be/is, I can measure the diameter but not the thickness as it’s still in the watch.

Measured at 32.5 diameter and through my research online I’ve found a few pages that suggest 2.5mm thickness, can anyone confirm?

Seems cousins only go up to 2.4 thickness. I’ve found one on eBay but it’s China. Plenty of UK but only mineral not sapphire https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154276042979

safe bet from the US https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAPPHIRE-WATCH-CRYSTAL-FOR-39MM-ROLEX-OYSTER-PERPETUAL-EXPLORER-I-214270-114300-/170969327014?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

cant find actual dimensions anywhere.
