Crystal Troubles!
Hey Guys,
Ok here is my dilemma, I have a 16610 with custom dial and diamond bezel. I just purchased a 14060 with 3000 movement, I like the cleaner look, I was planning on having a custom dial made as well, and switching the bezels. I took the diamond bezel off my 16610 and went to put in on the 14060 and found that the crystal is smaller. So I don't know what to do? |

Some actual advice would be more helpful...Is there a crystal that would fit the 14060 case, and is thicker?

The bezels on the 16110 and the 14060 are not interchangeable. The 14060 is smaller - if I recall correctly the ID is smaller.

Put the bezels back on both watches from whence they came. Maybe time to pop for another custom bezel...

There are plenty of crystals for the 14060, but it is unlikely that any of them will do what you want..

Put the original Rolex bezel back on your 14060 and slowly...step...away.
