w.genzo Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited April 9, 2012 by w.genzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londongeorge87 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavidoc Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm on the list for one of LondonG's. Gonna put it on my Gen 16800. Hate the glare of the cyclops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

correctime Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm on the list for one of LondonG's. Gonna put it on my Gen 16800. Hate the glare of the cyclops. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneed12 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Gonna try to fit it to the new GMT IIc, despite the fact that I tried a clark's and it didn't fit. I'll figure something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londongeorge87 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Let us all know how it goes with the gmt iic. Would make that a true super rep with one of those crystals in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 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 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.

Londongeorge87 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I have a gen 16610 lv and it came with AR cyclops. Was a 2010 model Many are upgrading their gens anyway for this newer crystal. Plenty buy these from me to put in their gens Completely transforms a rep too. Just ask anyone who's bought one!

w.genzo Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 It is ok on RRR Subs, not on others. I agree it's cool but it's like putting a luminova insert dial and hands or a SEL bracelet on a tritium sub. On gens it would kill the watch walue. Lke a service LEC crystal does if mountes on a no LEC serial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I want to put one on my sean sub but no rehaut = no AR unless you can get one with a service cornet then I might consider that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londongeorge87 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 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.
