juca Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Well please let me know if i can change the front crystal for a more straight vintage look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Think you don't find a replacement glass for your watch.... And when you find one you must glue it Buy a MBW/MBK and you have the best you can get....
