    acrylic crystal for my 6694 was quoted at S$250 (not sure if just crystal, or inclusive of something else).

    YMMV. dont expect these to come cheap. they cost a bomb.

          Thanks all. Called RSC and they quoted 100+ also. But she mentioned that there is a min. charge of 400 so it is more worth it to send it in while servicing also. FYIp. Cheers.

            can choose? I thought all the same price, only if you dont want the cyclops they will just chizel it off since it is "glued" on.

            last time i send my 16233 for verification, i was told that install a crystal is additional $90 for labor. honestly, it looks like a 10minute job, and want to charge $90. PLUS cost of crystal.

                  A 6694 acrylic crystal so expensive

                  For a piece of plastic I doubt it will cost that much.

                  Cheerio,

                      Well...to be more exact the acrylic crystal cost about $31.

                      On top of that, when you send a watch to RSC and there will be a minimun charge of $75. That's why to authentic a watch basically cost this amount.

                      ...so total is $106. You are right it cost about $100+.

                      Cheerio,

                        well... mine is service with complete overhaul etc etc. so they just bundle some of the things together.

                        wow... $31 isnt too bad. and a minimum charge of $75 a pop. a nice profit maker eh. now if only my business can do this too. ... nevermind i charge $40 nia
