116610 Ceramic Submariner CRYSTAL REPLACEMENT???


Recommended Posts

The 116610 uses a crystal retainer ring to hold the crystal and gasket on. These can typically only be removed successfully with a special Rolex tool. BUT if you’re determined you could slide a blade underneath it and work around until you create a gap large enough to pull it off.

Pushing it back on requires a precise due that is just bigger than the crystal but small enough to still fit atop the slim ring.

Part 319 is the retainer ring.

My apologies for the necropost, but what book is that?
