Rolex Sub 5513 with Acrylic Cystal?

Hi I have seen a watch for sale, its a Rolex 5513 from a reputable seller, the watch has Acrylic Crystal though?
What is this stuff, I thought they used Sapphire Crystal on Rolexs?
Could I replace it to Sapphire if I wanted?

Totally correct. Sapphire made it's debut on the reference 16800.
