Plexi crystals need to be pressed on with the bezel to ensure water tightness.

Almost any watch parts vendor will have crystals, J Borles, Otto Frei, CousinsUK, etc.

You need part 25-118.

Most legitimate watch shop vendors sell replacements that meet or exceed OEM specs.

Rolex sells packaging..
