Rolex 168000 Crystal

[E46seca]

I have a 168000 with the cyclops on the date. I want to swap out the crystal for a non cyclops version. Which crystal would fit ? 14060 ?


Thanks for the help

It is also possible to remove the cyclops if that is of any help to you.

I'm aware but since the crystal is AR coated lifting off the cyclop might leave a spot that looks off to the rest of the crystal ? Has anyone here done that before ? Thank you

Hi - did you get an answer to this question? I'm in the same boat (except mine is a 16800).

Here's what it would look like (pic lifted from another forum)

Remove the crystal from the watch. Heat the cyclops with a heat gun and it will break the glue loose and the crystal cyclops can then be removed.

25-295 is the answer, same crystal as a 16520. Have plenty in stock if ya need one installed.

Thank you so much to all those that replied I'll be trying the remove the cyclop first and if content with the outcome it stays that way. Worst case i'll contact you about the mentioned crystal.


God the watch looks sooooo awesome without the cyclops over the date

Rolex crystals are not AR coated.

I decided to just go for it with my 16800. Very pleased with how it turned out!

Next up is my 16750!

Personally, I don’t get it. The cyclops is SO Rolex to me. It’s extremely functional too...but maybe your eyes a are younger than mine! If I didn’t want a cyclops, I’d just get a Sea Dweller. To each his own, of course. Just had to say it.

I have an SD4K as well but it's a little bulky for everyday use.

I just found myself not wearing any of my watches with cyclops and reasoned that the cyclops was the issue.

That said I'm hankering after a tritium 14060 as I don't own a no date sub!
