Chipped Tag Monaco glass

[Henry Fiddleton]

Firstly: ughh!

No idea how its happened, and doesnt look to affect the seal.

Still, its over 2 years old, and I want to know my replacement options.

I will want to replace it with Saphire glass (currently the old perspex?) - something that lasts.

Thoughts, costs and ideas welcome.

A hesalite crystal shouldn't be expensive. I have a couple of old pre-sapphire Rolexes and even they don't have expensive crystals.

about £100 fitted, you will want to keep the Plexi imo

they look better and the newer monaco's are another 20gramms more weight.

Keep the plexiglass.

The part is about £2- although having said that, finding a square one may be harder than round- just find someone competent to fit it.

I had a friendly jeweller replace mine for £40. If you ask TAG they'll probably insist on a service.

Not sure there is a straight swap to sapphlex but I don't know much about TAGs these days...

Thanks for the tips,

A lot of you are suggesting sticking to the plexi, but isnt Saphire worth the money?

I am not partucualry bothered about losing the originality - its a keeper.

Weight wise - again, it is still light compared my Sub.

Also- I have a Tag Service voucher, might be worth getting in touch - I was expecting £300-£400 for glass replacement..

Cheers,
Kam

not really, the pelxi looks nicer imo

I am thinking about buying a blue Mc queen one and rather have the plexi over the glass.

(I have one of each to compare)

as for weight the subs not a heavy watch in the 1st place at 135 gramms
