16610 crystal retainer die

[J!m]

Hello everyone.

I was tired of using the crappy plastic dies for this, and not able to find (let alone afford) Rolex branded dies, I made one for myself. It works perfectly and has a 1/4-20 thread to fit most presses. Interior is tall enough to clear the cyclops easily.

I used 6061 because I had it handy. I'd probably use glass reinforced Delrin but honestly, with the die and retainer clean, this installs it perfectly with no scratching at all.

I have sent the print out to a local Aero machine shop for quote. If anyone is interested in one of these please let me know. No pricing yet, as I don't have a quote back from the shop. But the more I order the less they cost.

If you miss out, I will probably have them on eBay eventually.
