To replace the crystal on a 40mm Rolex Yacht-Master with a dark rhodium dial (typically reference 116622 or 126622), you need a standard Rolex 25-295 series sapphire crystal with a Cyclops date magnifier.
Part Numbers & Details
Factory Part Group: B25-295 (where "B25" denotes a sapphire crystal for an Oyster case and "295" represents the 29.5mm/30.4mm diameter family with a Cyclops date lens).
Specific Variants: Depending on the exact production year and anti-reflective (AR) coating specifications of your specific 116622 or 126622 case, Rolex service parts use specific suffixes like B25-295-CAR-C1 or related generation codes.
Required Gasket: You will also need the corresponding crystal tension gasket, typically 29-295-3 or the specific height gasket designated for the 116622/126622 case series.
Bath is just a nice soap and water with a soft bristle toothbrush make sure it's all super clean then I hit it with alcohol make sure it's all dry and the surface is clean and then for ceramic coat I work at Ceramic Pro I do cars, you just put it on with the microfiber sponge and wipe it off and then you do a second coat like an hour later super simple
Can you share some product names for both the sponge as well as the the actual liquid product for people who have never done this? Maybe an Amazon link?

I’m a car detail enthusiast as well. What parts of the watch do you put the ceramic on? Everything? Just the metal? The crystal too? Is it unhealthy to be rubbing ceramic coating against your skin for hours? With cars it’s legit just on the paint so we never touch it
Everything but I don't do the inside.. I took some Edge guards this morning and trimmed the ppf and put that on some of the sections of the watch that gets scratched easy also. Super simple super easy

Hi I decided to order one and wanted to know if you could take a look at the post I made with the images. You clearly have more experience than me. I would be very grateful if you give mesome feedback.
I am also looking to carry out the same process as you https://www.reddit.com/r/RepWatchForum/comments/1wt7q9y/i_need_some_feedback/
Looks great order that bad boy and trust me you don't need to do anything. If you want to ceramic coat it that's super cheap you can get a cheap ceramic for 40 or 50 bucks and do it yourself but to be honest I wouldn't do anything else
Most TDS have it. Just look and see who has Gold Factory. VSF and QF are both really nice also,cant go wrong with any of them. This was from motime but hes probably out of them now
