ROLEX Sports Model Crystals with AR Under the Cyclops Okay guys, I need some input from members as I make final preparations for the manufacturing process. These projects cost a lot of capital and it would be a shame if something is overlooked. I will be manufacturing a 1:1 Corundum Sapphire Submariner/Rolex Sports crystal with AR under the cyclops this April. This will hopefully be an excellent addition to the possibilities for Rolex sports owners. As discussed at length for the Panerai Luminor crystals, these Submariner crystals will be made with the finest quality base materials and to the highest degree of specification. -Rolex OEM Crystal used as a sample -Corundum Sapphire base material -OEM gasket used as a sample -near colorless AR per genuine under the cyclops -nice edges and finishing -sharp 90 degree angles on the routed grooves that contact the gasket for perfect water tightness (UNLIKE most rep and aftermarket crystals) -correct cyclops x2.5 (depending on gasket used) Replacement Sapphire Crystal Rolex Part Number 25-295-C1, C2, 25-295- AR Gaskets: I have several gasket heights I am still working on which or all will be made: GASKET PART NUMBERS: 29-295-C, 29-295-1, 29-295-2 Your input will help here. J BACKGROUND: Rolex’s Words: “The Cyclops date magnifier has an anti-reflective coating: above-below” Interpretation: “above-below” = between the cyclops and top of the sapphire This does not read this way at first, but has been confirmed from a TZ post and my own research. Here is a photo from TZ showing the GMT-C with cyclops removed. Compatible models: MODELS that should be upgraded using these crystals: Submariners 16610, 16610 LV, 16800, 168000, etc. Explorer IIs Yachtmasters GMTs Questions: Any idea what watches can take the genuine spec crystals? For example most guys upgrade their Submariners with Clark crystals…. What makers are being upgraded? (TW Best, WM9, etc.) Is there anything that should be noted before this begins? Any other oversights? ROLEX Sports Model Crystals with AR Under the Cyclops Okay guys, I need some input from members as I make final preparations for the manufacturing process. These

Andrew has been in regular contact with me the last several days regarding my order. It appears to be business as usual for him. I got QC pics and the order shipped this morning. No problems thus far. Of course it hasn't cleared Chinese customs yet...
