Hi all,

I have seen a few 1803 with a non cyclops crystal install which looks very neat.

I understand our crystal being 30.3mm and I have bought a few models at ofrei.

However, when I brought to my watche smith I was told not able to fit in due to the pie pan design.

Can anyone point me the right direction when can I get one with no cyclops and ultra high dome effect?

Thanks many

If your watch has a pie-pan dial I would have thought crystal would be acrylic now acrylic crystals are a totally different fit than sapphire.So I would advise you to stick to the original acrylic if thats original to your watch.

Yes, a T21 from a 4 digit Daytona works perfectly.

That's a gorgeous piece ...I would heed Peters advice and leave it alone or source a correct crystal otherwise you are compromising the water tightness amongst other potential issues ...just my honest opinion ....no sense in potentially ruining a perfectly fine watch

takumee · 23 December 2015, 07:42 AM

Just so Neat without the cyclops.

Now is can find one slight high dome one would be better..

It's just me..

Haha

Wow, guys! Cool look without the cyclop. Does anyone know if the crystal model you are referring to would also fit the 1601 case?

takumee · 10 January 2016, 12:13 AM

I just bought a Clarks t21, would that fit?

Thanks..

FYI, I'm using Clarks t21..needs some greesing to bring down the bezel.

Ofrei crystal should fit better..

dysondiver · 25 January 2016, 01:05 AM

great look , loving the wide boy

77T · 25 January 2016, 02:58 AM

I like the look - but like Peter said be sure it's airtight with fit and do a pressure test.
My poor old eyes need the cyclops though
