Crystal gasket heights.
Do any of you watch gurus have any 3mm crystal gaskets available? I’ve tried aftermarkets like Clark’s (which don’t seal). I’m hoping to get ahold of a couple of oem Rolex gaskets.

You will have a tough time getting 3.00 gaskets to seal. The crystal will fit much higher than the edge of the bezel. There really isn't a reason to need a 3.00 gasket. Even pave dials and hands can fit under the 2.70.
But if you must, maybe globs of UV glue and test at 2 bar. |

I'm trying to get a Fat lady crystal to sit at the right height.
The original gasket was 2.7mm which would work with the original 2mm crystal. But Rolex swapped out to a 1.8mm crystal at service and it sits too low now. I do have the original 2mm crystal but no gasket. I suppose I could just use a 2.7mm gasket but again don't know where to find a genuine one.
