Where to get a 16013 lens from.

I need to replace the lens on my 16013 DJ, i think it is acrylic. Where would be the best place to get one from in the UK?

If you dont mind paying the extra premium, RSC will have one. Although, I believe they will not replace the acrylic only, rather they will insist that you have the watch overhauled by them before they will replace the acrylic.

Get a verlux plastic Crystal glass they are the company that make them for rolex so they are original without the price for the rolex packet in comes in, part Number 25-135 you can get them for 1/4 of the price from various watch parts suppliers online. Good luck

I have bought several of these from this guy. The fit is perfect, the magnification is right and the price is terrific.

I defy anyone to tell the difference between this and an OEM Rolex crystal!

Agreed! I bought one and the magnification was way too small, maybe 2x but probably 1.5x.

They took it back but said nobody had ever complained about it before; yeah, right...


They sell lots of non-OEM Rolex parts; probably all from Hong Kong!

X2, these glasses are generic, they do not even fit right, you often cannot even get the bezel over them without polishing some of the plastic away, waste of time. Certainly not waterproof then either.
