Anyone can measure its height? DJ 36mm.. (w/ pic) pls help

I'm trying to make my own watch, and designing my watch refer to DJ 36mm
I searched and found that DJ uses 29.5mm crystal, 2mm tall and ID 29.5 OD 30.5 gasket. Also the bezel is 2.3mm tall, ID 30.5 OD 34.7..
So the bezel grap the crystal and case body with gasket.
Now the problem is, I can't find any information of the height of joint between bezel and the case body.

I found that crystal isn't completely inserted to the bezel, it comes out like 0.7~1mm.
So I figure out that joint between casebody and bezel height is about 1~1.3mm, is it right?
(Bezel height 2.3mm minus crystal 1mm equal 1.3mm)

Is there anyone can measure the joint height? Pls.. It's last step for design my watch..!




Ps here i put a pic of my design! Im not going to make a fake rolex

The angulated lug isn't only for oysterquartz, it was trend of watch design in 80's, most of the watches looks like that. And there is an endpiece between lugs. Only design, I refer my vintage seamaster more

No, when you refers to the design it means your design will visually look similar to the oysterquartz case but the measurement mm will be different as you decide on the sizes mm yourself.
What you're doing now is not refering but to copy because you need to know the mm of the rolex design.

Oh good point. I didn't explain reason why I'm trying to get detail length.
Case body, endpiece, bracelet, caseback and bezel designed by my own size and length. But the gasket and crystal, I have to buy from shop, so I choose 16200 datejust for standard. If I make the crystal and gasket by my decide, it makes hard to find right gasket and crystal. If my design compatible with the parts that can easly find at the market, it'll save cost and time. So I'm looking for it
Im sorry if i made you uncomfortable!!

It is a shame that so many make so much off of the wonderful rolex design.

Interesting design; it looks a lot like the older Rolex Oyster Quartz with the integrated bracelet.Although OQ was a date watch. Unfortunately my DJ is older with a plexi crystal.
