hi how much will it cost to do this ?
Thanks, I’ve been looking for this change for sometime.
I need to change the crystal on my 16610 and 16700.. chipped damn sapphire. What do you recommend pls? Apologies for random question.
Hi Peter, thank you for the video. What are your thoughts on the sapphire crystal and gasket from Amazon compared to the oem one that Rolex provides? Is there a difference?
Hi Peter,
Hope this finds you well.
I just replaced the glass on a 16013 ,but it sits way to high.
The glass i purchased on ebay.
Where can I get a better glass or if i could make this fit lower?
Is there a way you could give me some direction as to measurements? I sent the model and calibre to a provider in Texas and they swore it was the right crystal but, it wasn’t. How can I measure and order accordingly? It’s a Rolex datejust 34mm ref. 1500 calibre 1570 and the bezel diameter is ~29.2 mm. I believe they sent me a 30mm + gasket! Thanks !

do we need to remove the movement, etc from the watch, or can we replace the crystal with everything in tact?
Hey! I bought one of those high gaskets and sapphire crystals on eBay too , for my OQ thing is those crystals aren’t the same as a Rolex sapphire I sat them side. By side the edges are cut at a better angle on the Rolex. But my thing is those gaskets are huge and expose the plastic gasket past the bezel unless u had like a 7.0g bezel to fill the space in my opinion it looks goofy sitting up so high, I cut mine down seems to be working just fine sits perfect but do you know of any shorter height gaskets for the 36mm oyster quartz oyster case
Thank you for putting this up dude. Helped me out a lot.
Very helpful. I’m changing a crystal on my 16610. Been looking for videos. This helped
hi peter, i’m looking to replace the acrylic glass on a rolex perpetual datejust i inherited.i cant read the ref number anymore but the crystal measures 30.49mm above the bezel. will the 31 mm sapphire replacement glass fit it/waterproof it? i heard it will need a new bezel for this change. is that old/wrong information. Thanks for a great video!
Sir ? Can you show us how to properly re-install the WINDING STEM for Rolex gmt2 a friend mine accidentally pulled the Stem quite hard & it came out …. he is being so hesitant to bring the Yo-yo (sorry just a way we call our rolexes ) to any rolex authorized dealer .. & i bet you can show us … thank you again sir
Hello, do you do the crystal swap out for customers?
Can i do the opposite ? Change the sapphire crystal with plastic ?
Does anyone how much thinner does the sapphire crustal make it??
Would that be value adding or taking since its replacing original?
Is it necessary to remove the bezel? Why can’t you just use a crystal press like you normally do for other watches? Thanks
