To put this to rest will the OP post a document from Rolex on Rolex letterhead that says exactly what he wrote :

Tony Does the estimate say counterfeit crystal as you said it did?
An unsolicited PM from a friend of yours to me said he has seen it and according to what he wrote me I don't see the word counterfeit ?
My interest is in the crystal topic not the dealings of these 2 members. The Oysterquartz and the 1530 before it were the 1st Rolex watches that used sapphire crystals. They had many suppliers of
crystals over the years. So what's real ,aftermarket , counterfeit and fake is what I want to know?

Obviously rolex could tell it wasn't their crystal. Hence making it counterfeit. The definition of counterfeit, something made cheap in this case prob $5, to resemble something else expensive, in this case $200. Plane and simple here, pay for a real fing crystal, or else don't claim it to be 100% authentic.
