PSA: Gen 16610 Crystal w/ AR For Sale

I agree these crystals are awesome, but I still don't understand the reason to invest 300$ for a part that is incorrect for a non RRR Sub, while a perfect 2nd hand gen could be found easily at half of the money or even less. On the other hand, for a V serial sub this crystal is a must

I've read that Rolex no longer produce the non ar'd crystals - so servicing and replacement crystals through Rolex will now be these ar'd ones. Increasing the likelihood of more older gen M series etc having an AR'd crystal.

Some gen owners I've seen have upgraded their crystals to this new one too.

I think they represent great value for money. Best mod available for these new breed of Franken subs IMO. Judging by the amount I've been asked I think these are extremely popular.

All down to personal preference I suppose. And there may now be a load of the older type gen crystals up for sale now there's these hitting the market :)

I've got one enroute to try on the 16800 build too :)

per factory or not there's not much sense having a date on a watch if it's any kind of struggle to see it

you will like it. Have londongeorge's on my 16800. Huge difference compared to my 16700.

Another batch of these rare sub date crystals just in. Perfect for that TC/BK Franken build. Or to upgrade your gen! All come with gaskets.

Along with two extremely rare crystals indeed;

1 x 42mm Explorer II - Genuine Rolex!

1 x Milgauss Green glass - again genuine Rolex.

You will not find these items for sale anywhere else - trust me!

Any interest or queries - pm me for my email address.

Cheers,

Tom

I agree, seeing a 16610 in the wild with AR on the cyclops is gonna be a rare event. They may be replacing them at service in many cases, but they will have a ton of non AR crystals to use up first.

In ten years, yes...we will see lot's of AR cyclops, but not now.

As I've said, there are plenty of gen owners buying from me and putting this AR'd cyclops crystal in their subs/yms as an upgrade to their reflective standard cyclops.

I wouldn't hesitate to do it to my gen lv either but it already came with one as a 2010.

Personal preference I suppose. I've got some if anyone's interested here.
