Crystal Replacement

I need to replace the crystal on my Rolex Explorer II. Can any-one recommend a reliable and trustworthy company to do this?

Any official RSC or any of there authorised Rolex affiliated watchmaker's,but if crystal is badly damaged expect they would want a full service crystals are not really expensive but the Labour cost to replace is.

I don't know if an RSC would do it without a service, but assuming everything else about the watch is okay, any AD watchmaker should be able to. I don't know about UK pricing, but in the US it should be $235 total according to my green Bible.

I’d only trust it to RSC. I’d probably want them to give it a full service while they’re at it, but that’s just me

I swapped out my non-AR coated crystal of an AR coated crystal on my SD43 at my AD for $180. Total.

Any AD with a watchmaker on staff is able to replace a crystal. The same is true for independent Rolex certified watchmakers if they have the correct crystal on hand.

Me personally I'd send it back to RSC, you never know now days with 3rd party companies.
