watcher Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 A few weeks ago I bought what may now be the only genuine 42mm AR crystal that Londogeorge can get and have now fitted it inside the current 42mm Exp 2. I have trimmed the crown guards and stripped it down and centered the DW overlay(hoping to get an eta date wheel that is printed with the Rolex font soon which will shrink the date down to better size) and fitted the gen crystal! The date is still larger than it should but because this is a physically bigger watch it does not look too bad now it has a much improved cyclops and AR clarirty!! Will will see what the Noob version has and looks like soon hopefully but until then enjoy the pics of my "watcher model" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneed12 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Interesting. I'd have thought the date would be very far to the right in the cyclops, since the ETA position isn't correct for this watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 It doesn't quite show in the pics but the window is very slightly to the left of centre in the cyclops but not enough to be a major problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig S Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Guys, it's there anyone who can source gen crystals for this watch still? I just got myself the new noob version, but not that impressed with the Crystal and the Cyclops in particular.

watcher Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Londongeorge87 is the only guy I know who can source these and he has only ever had one that I know of and it is the one you see above I'm afraid. I have 2 noob black dial exp2's arriving shorlty and hopefully this crystal will end up in one and the other I will sell as my brother no longer wants one!!:-( Edited January 12, 2013 by watcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
