IMHO not worth the hassle to change nothing wrong with the original acrylic crystal and have seen reports of the changes where they pass a pressure check but leaked after wearing for a few months.The only slight advantage is the sapphire is less prone to scratches.But even sapphire do scratch then very very difficult to remove the scratch and expensive to replace .While acrylic its quite easy to remove scratches plus the fact at normal routine service acrylic crystals are always replaced as part of service.As any DJ is not the most collectible of Rolex watches, but if the change from acrylic to sapphire of any of the sports line up then that would most certainly effect its value by quite a lot.

This is my fathers DateJust. I'm not sure which model it is but he decided to have the acrylic glass replaced with a sapphire crystal. He had it changed to sapphire crystal simply because he's daily worn the watch since it was new and the acrylic had been replaced multiple times due to scratching so easily. In his situation he isn't worried about devaluing the watch as it will probably never be sold. Here's some pics of it next to my 116233.
