I was in a similar position a while back and for me the best options I could find that fulfilled a domed appearance were the following:
Buy vintage Buy a different model with domed glass (black bay for example) OR other brand OR buy the DSSD which has the domed glass already. (this option worked with me) Not really providing an 'answer' per se, but its what I found to be my options when pondering a similar question. |

I've always wished that some of the older domed plexi crystals would work on my 14060. Unfortunately...they don't.
I couldn't be happier with my Sub...unless it had a domed plexi crystal...and a matte dial...and non-gold surrounds...

I had vintage but the particular reference didn't quite sing to me as I would have thought. Maybe later it will....but as for wanting the vintage qualities the DSSD has several of the ones I find desirable. Though would be nice to lose the white gold indice surrounds and maybe add some red lettering. Doubt it would happen but one can hope.

I don't think a 14060 will look that good with a domed crystal.

in my experience, mods with aftermarket parts never look quite right. JMHO.
