Domed is wrong for the 1680.

But then this the low end of the vintage Rollie rep market so you can't really expect accurate details.

What you need is a tropic 127...

Aftermarket (fleabay item no. 110185714466)

Genuine (160175650449)

But be WARNED! My advice would be to go aftermarket as it's pretty unlikely a gen crystal will fit your non 1:1 vintage case anyway. Even the aftermarket may need glueing, it's pretty much pot luck depending on the specs of your case.

Doc's right about this being a crap shoot. Trusty's case in not to gen specs like an MBW/WM case. But a crystal from wholesale outlet is as good a place as any to start experimenting. It seems like I recall reading about someone putting a T-127 crystal on a Trusty 1680 a year or two ago. Good luck.

Man,

i can't understand why people buy these crappy Vintage Rolexes,

after some Dealers around who selling MBW's for a good price range...

I Think you don't find a replacement glass for your watch....

And when you find one you must glue it :thumbdown:

Buy a MBW/MBK and you have the best you can get....
