Will a 16610 crystal fit on a 16600 sea dweller?

[cacti222]

Just picked up a 16600 and I'm not a fan of how tall the crystal is. I know its a thicker crystal for deeper dives, but I'd like a thinner crystal for everyday wear.

They are both 40mm, so will a 16610 crystal work?

Thanks

Not according to my size chart.

The 16600 is smaller by about 0.5mm

[SearChart]

No it will not.

Thanks for the responses.

What do you have on your size chart? I'm seeing 29.4mm. I wonder if this generic Cousins crystal at 29.5 will fit?

Yep - Eddie is correct. 16600 crystal is indeed thicker

Thicker is cool. Is it the same diameter?

Can't say for certain. Despite the fact that the crystal itself is thicker, you can install a thinner gasket for a "stouter" look. The SD gasket is also thicker than that on the 16610, I believe. As long as the hands clear, and assuming the diameters are the same, you'd be good with a 16610 gasket.

I was referring to the diameters not being the same.

If the diameters were the same the crystal thickness would not be an issue.

As the crystals are a different size diameter, using a different O-ring gasket is not advisable. Definitely unwise in the case of actual diving at depth.

It just takes a bit of water in the wrong place.

No the 16600 is different slightly smaller in diameter.
