Glass Question!

Guys,


Would a glass say per example, a Sub 16610 which has a cyclops cost MORE OR LESS than the glass of a sea dweller 16600?

Does anybody know?

I think you are reffering to the crystal which is a saphire crystal not a piece of glass and I would think it would be more for a sea dweller cause of thickness.

well, sorry for not being specific. What I meant was the difference in price between one a crystal that is saphire crystal but with cyclops and without the cyclops. Would there be a price difference?

I would think its a nominal difference for the cyclops but I think the sea dweller is thicker which would make it cost more. Although I am i only guessing.

I guess another way of asking this question, would be whether there are price difference the glasses and if so, what makes up for the difference of such?

I would imagine that thicker crystals cost more. So the SDDS's crystal will cost more than the SD's which would cost more than the Sub's, which in turn should cost more than the rest.

Then of course you have the Milgauss GV's green crystal...

Well the sub cyclops is only stuck on the crystal its not part of the watch crystal.Although the SD is 1mm thicker its also smaller in diameter, would doubt if there was a big price difference between the two.
