Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2016 1:57 am
Below you will find tables for Rolex crystal numbers taken directly from their R. 20 Catalogue. It contains both tropic (non cyclopes crystal) and cyclope crystal numbers.
Each column contains a number at the top which is the crystal number. Directly below the crystal number is a listing for the models that use the crystal.
The first two yellow pages are for tropic crystals, the next two white pages are for cyclope crystals and the last page is for replacement tropic crystals that work as replacements for cyclope crystals. As an example, look at the the 116 cyclope crystal. A few columns to the right you will see that the tropic 38 is a replacement for this crystal for the 116 cyclope. Now, if you go back and look at the 116 cyclope crystal group, you'll see that that this group includes the GMT 1675, GMT 6542 and the Explorer II 1655. (The 116 cyclope crystal was also used for the GMT 16750/16753. The replacement tropic 38 also fits the 16750/16753 models. This edition of the R.20 catalogue predates the 16750 models therefore the 16750/16753 models are not included in the charts.)
