Dimensions of Crystals for Orient Mako, Ray, & Mako XL

[cfender]

There are a few other threads currently that deal with this topic.

I have emailed Mark @ OrientUSA to see if he can give the difinitive word on the diameter and thickness of the the stock mineral crystals.

I also emailed Harold Ng at yobokies and asked the dimensions of his domed, blue AR tinted sapphire crystal that we KNOW fits the Mako (and presumably Ray). I know it fits the Mako because I had one installed on my Blue Mako.

I recently read a post that included a link to this supplier of crystals which looks like a very promising one to supply the sapphire crystals that are so often desired as an upgrade for the Mako, Ray, and Mako XL.

Krysworks Online Store

On other posts I have read the the dimension of the Mako/Ray crystal is 31mm x 3mm and the Mako XL 32mm x 3mm but I don't know if that is absolutely accurate AND if the dimensions would be different if a domed crystal was selected. If Harold provides the dimensions on his domed sapphire crystal for the Mako then we should know.

OrientUSA responded to my email request and agreed to supply the dimensions on their stock crystals. I'll post as soon as I have it.

I received email from Orient USA and the dimensions for the crystals are:

Mako/Ray -- 31mm x 3mm
Mako XL -- 32mm x 3mm

You can buy sapphire crystals in these dimensions from Krysworks Online Store

I got my domed sapphire crystal for my Blue Mako from yobokies

What do you mean by mako/ray and mako? If I have a yellow mako, would I get the 31 or 32mm diameter?

I believe that I am not putting words in cfenders mouth when I say that the: Mako/Ray-- 31mm x 3mm refers to the original Mako and Ray's crystal diameter
and: Mako-- 32mm x 3mm refers to the diameter of the Mako XL's crystal
So if you have an original Mako and I don't think they make a Yellow Mako XL (at least not that I have seen) you need the 31mm x 3mm diameter crystal.

Sorry, yes the 32mm x 3mm dimension is for the Mako XL.

Great. Thanks.

So, will the flat sapphire versions fit too? I only see talk of the domed ones, but I would prefer a flat one...I assume it would still fit if ordered from this Krysworks vendor...

The stock mineral crystals on the Orients are flat. The yobokies I have is domed and I don't know what the thickness is. I emailed Harold at yobokies but haven't received a response. I'm GUESSING it's something less than 3mm. A flat sapphire from Krysworks in the dimensions listed SHOULD work perfectly. Their domed sapphire crystals are only available up to 2mm thickness.

OK, thats perfect then. I'd prefer flat...
