Question about crystal for Rolex 16233

Hello everyone

I have a Rolex 16233 which I really like, I just really miss the AR coating on cyclops.

I know that the crystal it uses is a b25-295, but I’m unsure if a CAR (AR) variant will fit the watch. I am currently looking at a B25-295-CAR-V5-C1

Can anyone help me - will that one fit?

Thanks in advance

If the part numbers are the same, CAR or AR modifiers mean AR coated.

All of the 295C crystals are the same diameter. Only difference is the gasket height and presence/absence of AR. I'd be looking for a blistered B25-295-CAR-C1 - AR cyclops only (not the whole crystal)
