Help me ID My Crystal

Hoping the vintage community can help me ID the crystal on my Sub.

I've seen some nice alternatives out there and am considering a change.

However if the one currently fitted is OEM, I'll leave it be.

Tropic 19, I'm guessing. Looks good, and nice watch. All you need is a 7206. :-)

may be a service dome but not the profile and distortion of an original t19 imo...

Agree. Looks like service to me too.

I have a couple of vintages with this "service" profile.

Definitely a service crystal. Here's an original on my 5512. You can tell by the sides of the crystal and the level of distortion.

Help me ID My Crystal

Service crystal, if Rolex. Basically impossible to tell anymore with the newest generation “repro” crystals.

Beautiful watch.
