KBH 7 Posted July 3, 2010 Anybody have an idea where to find a new sapphire crystal for a Chinese Sub? I've found that it's slightly bigger than the gen/WM9/Clark crystal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted July 3, 2010 Anybody have an idea where to find a new sapphire crystal for a Chinese Sub? I've found that it's slightly bigger than the gen/WM9/Clark crystal. What is exact size ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted July 3, 2010 I'll have to take the Sub apart again to get an exact size, but it was just slightly larger than a Clark which is 30.4mm, which would put it probably at 30.6mm. I was hoping there was a standard size for Chinese Subs, but I guess that would be wishful thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBH 7 Posted July 3, 2010 I was hoping there was a standard size for Chinese Subs :rofl: :rofl: Glad I could give you a chuckle.. Let me re-phrase the question. If I was to totally disassemble my Chinese Sub and get an accurate measurement, would I be able to find a replacement crystal, since it's not the same size as a gen/WM9/Clark? Or should I sell it on Rep Geek as a vintage model for 2x the $$ because of the scratches? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyB 0 Posted July 3, 2010 Or should I sell it on Rep Geek as a vintage model for 2x the $$ because of the scratches? Sell it on the geek for 4X with the updated, soon to be released by Rolex super-sized crystal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted July 3, 2010 Hard to say mate. If you get the exact measurements someone may be able to source you one. Crystals are a constant problem that will not be fixed until OS next gets to GZ. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted July 7, 2010 Just in case anybody ever needs the information, I found that a Clark Datejust crystal at 30.6mm is a nice tight perfect fit for (at least my) Chinese Sub case. Even passed my swimming pool test. Nice cyclops, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted July 7, 2010 Good find mate!! Congrats Of course if you had that laser scanner you'd be done in a jiffy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
