A sapphire crystal is just that a sapphire crystal and long as its the correct size it should fit with the correct new gasket.But myself would only use a genuine Rolex one and have it changed at normal routine service time they are not all that expensive then. And will add its only advisable if its got a acrylic crystal then only change to acrylic only.

The ones on ebay are of good quality. However, they are often supplied with incorrect gaskets. I would look for a genuine one with its genuine gasket.

Aftermarket crystals can be had from J Borles or Otto Frei and other Watchmaker supply houses..
