Rolex Datejust 16013 Crystal Swap
Hi
I bought a Rolex Datejust 16013 a few years ago for my wife. It has the plexi / acrylic crystal, which she is not a fan of. Considering buying a sapphire replacement from Amazon and have a great watch tech replace. Has anyone has experience of swapping the crystals out? Is it worth the swap? |

My experience with seeing these upgrades is that the gasket always sticks out, this is not an upgrade but a water resistance liability.
If she wants a sapphire I suggest selling the watch and getting one with sapphire. |
