The crystal does not have any branding on it like the new style LEC crystals so i don't think you can counterfeit a non marked piece of glass but i learn something everyday and maybe i am wrong? The oysterquartz in question i believe is from the 80's and during this time rolex did not make there own crystals. So if they did not make there own crystals and there is no branding on them who can tell?Since the OP has been to rolex and is getting the watch serviced there he can post pictures of the letter that states the crystal is counterfeit (maybe they can explain in detail how they came to this conclusion) as claimed and we can all learn from this. Again i have no interest in this other than learning about crystals and how to tell them apart.

Just a quick note about the word "counterfeit" - that's how Rolex describes any watch with non-genuine parts in it. It says it right at the bottom of any service paperwork you have from them:
"The addition of non-genuine parts to any Rolex watch renders it a counterfeit as defined by Federal Law. It is therefore unlawful to sell or offer such modified watch for sale. Rolex will not service watches altered with non-genuine parts or accessories."
I don't think it was wrong of the OP to use such language.
Like most people, I don't have a horse in this race but I hope the issue was settle amicably to both parties.
