DJ Crystal
On shopping round for a replacement Date Just crystal I have had some remarks from watchmakers, the most annoying being that they can fit an OEM part for £375 or a non-Rolex for £160 but they "cant guarantee that its waterproof". Now, why would anyone wish to change a leaky crystal for a newer version and pay for the pleasure ?

Not all watchmakers are equal. Some won’t have the vacuum testing equipment. Look for someone else. |

Go to an official service center.
If the watch is in good condition and only needs a new crystal (because of small chips or scratches) then the new crystal is €130 and €90 for the work. This is an official partial service. |

Any Rolex boutique with a watchmaker on site should replace a crystal for $200ish. I just had my hulk serviced at a RSC and when I came back to my AD I noticed they didn’t change the crystal and asked they said it wasn’t bad so Rolex didn’t change it. They told me any time I want it changed bring it in and they’ll do it at the local AD for $200. Most other non Rolex watchmakers will charge you double and claim they’re saving you money when compared to the AD. I saw Anthony On TPG tell a client it would be 4-500 thru them and much much more thru Rolex. Lol GTFO
