1. Is this a genuine Rolex crystal?
No. It is a generic aftermarket replacement, not original, but matches the 5500 dimensions.
2. What is the difference between acrylic and sapphire crystals?
Acrylic is softer, more impact‑resistant, but scratches easily; scratches can be polished out. Sapphire is harder, scratch‑resistant, but more brittle and expensive. This is acrylic, ideal for authentic vintage look.
3. How do I install it?
Acrylic crystals are typically press‑fit. Use a crystal press and UV adhesive (or dedicated crystal glue) for a water‑tight seal. Professional installation is recommended.
4. Will the original water resistance be maintained after installation?
Proper installation with a new gasket can restore everyday water resistance (approx. 50m). A water resistance test is advised.
5. Is a gasket included?
Usually not. The sealing gasket must be purchased separately. Confirm with the seller.
