I'm also doing the no cyclops thing. I'm having an independent Rolex trained watchmaker I completely trust try swapping in a fully AR undercoated Clark sapphire crystal that is 'supposed to fit the 16800 well enough it passes the pressure leak test, we will see if it does or not. The crystal does not come with the cyclops, and I prefer it without the cyclops, so I'm not going to add the cyclop. I know some may think I'm a blaspheme for changing anything, but I don't care, it is my watch and I don't care about resale value. It can always be reversed if I wanted to, or if it doesn't truly fit watertight.
I just sent my new to me 16800 to the watchmaker for a full movement service, change the crystal to the AR crystal, replace the seconds hand with original gen tritium, oh, and another thing that may annoy the purists, I'm having him put in the GMT bezel spring because I prefer the bezel to be bi-directional, again, easily returned to uni-directional with the swap of the spring.
