I picked up a 1983 Seadweller model 16660 last week or so that had been totally upgraded by Rolex with new dial, hands, crystal and bezel.

I love the watch, but not being able to see the date was killing me. My 47 year old eyes just can't do it, and I do not need/have/want glasses yet.

I bought a sapphire cyclops and some UV crystal glue and did what many here consider to be taboo. I glued that sucker right over the date on my Seadweller.

I see the date now, and since I plan on keeping this for life, and my eyes will only get worse, I am happy i did it. Won't take too much to take it off in the future.
