Help needed

After i installed a T38 on my gmt, im really liking the no cyclop look. Its so clean n really brings out the dial. Im thinking of doing the same for my daydate. Anyone kind enough to inform me which original rolex tropic crystal would be a perfect fit for DD? Thanks in advance.

Here is my gmt


N if u have a converted dd with no cyclop please share pics.

I like it a lot but you must be under 40 years old to be able to read the date!

I'm not positive but I believe a t21 is what you're looking for.

+1

Assuming it's an 1803 my book shows the cyclope 114 is correct and the tropic 21 is equal to the 114.

Awesome looking GMT by the way!

Where did you source the T38?

Ha ha ha. Im in my mid forties n it doesnt bother me (yet). I was a bit concerned but its actually not bad. I think the window on the gmt is larger than DD though.

Thanks guys for the compliments n pointing to the right T21. Im sure it will be another hard to find crystal. Let the hunt begins.

I found the T38 on vrm but man it was expensive. I blame Q. 😁
