DSSD sapphire replacement
Anyone know how much it costs to replace the sapphire?
Polywatch for acrylic ok but not sapphire. Clarks has an aftermarket but cost almost usd 150. Send to Rolex will easily set usd 800 with servicing. Any other options? Mine M series has a scratch on it. |

I'd only have it done through Rolex. The watch will need to be properly pressure tested. Not just any watchmaker can do it due to the depth rating of the Deepsea.

Aftermarket? No way. Send to RSC or use an independent with a Rolex parts account.

Don't go anywhere but to the Rolex RSC to replace the crystal on a DSSD mate....only they have the equipment to test the watch once it's been re-sealed with the new dome.

Are you sure it has a scratch ?Try rub it hard it may comes off ,hard to scratch the crystal but a stubborn dirt can trick your eyes.

I smashed my old 116610 into a surgical instrument stand at work and thought I did the same to my sapphire. I was prepared to replace the crystal but ended up using toothpaste (yes, toothpaste) and a dremel and the "scratches" came right off the crystal. Seems to me like the watch actually scratched some of the stainless steel off the equipment and it was simply "smeared" onto the surface of the crystal

Cannot feel with nails
So use diamond paste to polish off? Need to masking tape the bezel and insert? |

I thought I scratched mine in a shark cage. Brought it in to Rolex to replace the crystal and they said it was paint and buffed it out for free. Bring yours to Rolex for a free estimate and let them see what it is.

Will be easy with diamond paste as others have said.
I removed a scratch about 5 times bigger than that myself. Very easy |

You'll get no where with those. Maybe diamond paste, and yes mask off the bezel and insert or your next post will be asking what the cheapest way is to repair a damaged insert......My advice, take it to Rolex.

Diamond paste and dremel WILL work as long as they are residues and not actual deep scratches.

You have to go OEM and get it done.
