Glass replacement Rolex Milgauss gv

[Linslus]

Does anyone know how much it cost to replace the crystal on a Milgauss GV?

What happened?

I scratched the crystal somehow. I have no idea how I managed to do this. It´s like a very very fine scratch, about 5 mm long. You can barely see it, but in the right angle it´s there. Sad but true.

I´m thinking of just to leave it there. The world has bigger problems.

Mmmm , thats bad, but when barely visible, i wpuld give it some time, let's see if it keeps bothering you...
About the price, no idea, sorry. (but the GV is next on my list: wonderfull piece! )
Good luck!

Don't laugh at my suggestion, but it works:

Anytime you are sitting around twiddling your thumbs, add a tiny amount of toothpaste to one thumb and rub in circular motions over the scratch. Do this for a few days when time permits. Soon, the scratch will disappear, but you may see a faint haze. To remove the haze, simply use your thumb with a little moister—from a glass of scotch rocks works great—and continue the circular motions. Soon, the crystal will be as bright as new....Works every time.

Make sure it is really scratched... A while back I scratched my crystal or so I thought by banging it into the wall. Out of boredom one day I tried using the Cape Cod cloth on the crystal and it turned out to bring the "scratch" out. I guess it was a stubborn fine line of paint. Its funny because I used a toothbrush and soap on it after the initial impact and that never worked. Hopefully your in the same boat...

Milgauss GV crystal only available by send in the watch to RSC, AD can not get the crystal like other models, cost believe around $400.

No off market replacement, its light green sapphire so far only produced by one manufacture in Switzerland.

I did something similar, but I really do think I gave mine a scratch instead of a paint mark.

I've been afraid to use Cape Cod on the crystal (although I use it on the rest of the watch's metal, and it's great), but glad to hear it is safe for that.

I'll try it, and maybe also the toothpaste cure, which has worked for me on other watches...

Great advice here, as always.

The Milgauss crystal is sapphire, not acrylic.
