116200 sapphire crystal

What’s the cost of one of these (assuming its an official part?)

And how much wear is needed to a crystal to justify it being replaced? I can feel a couple of very slightly chips to the crystal when running a finger nail around the top edge, but there is nothing noticeable with the naked eye.

Usually around 200USD installed.

Unless the little chips are deep enough to be an issue they are pretty common.

Crystal itself is €130, placing it is €90. But only when the rest of the watch is in good shape will RSC do this.

If RSC wants to do a full service you could try an independent who can source OEM crystals
