The acrylic crystals found on 1675s don’t have LEC if it was applied i believe it would melt the crystal, mine was replaced at the Abu Dhabi RSC and it doesn’t have it. So not all official Rolex crystals have LEC. Unless you are saying that a RSC would use fake parts.

Omega Failure
I sent him several watches, lastly an Omega with Eta movement. It came back with debris inside the crystal and running 10 seconds slow. It also would not wind up fully (reverser wheel). He said he was not capable to repair the watch and parts (Eta?) were not available. He would not, however, refund my money. I think he is dumping a lot of his work on his son, who seems not to be capable. Or maybe neither one of them are capable.
I finally took it to a local San Diego CW21 and it's running 0s/d. Costly experience though. Never again for him. |

Try to get your money back. (Good luck with that !!)
THEN send it to CW21 Rolex restoration expert Bob Ridley in Dallas. He will make right and retain whatever originality is left. He is well renown as a vintage Rolex expert, along with his son Phillip. Bob Ridley, Dallas, TX https://watchmakers.com/contact-us/ 817-276-1400
