What are some cheap updates that I can do? 2xAr crystal? Different font wheel?

Prof xtals 2xar are not gen like. They are gorgeous but Rolex doesn't use AR on their crystal (except for the Cyclop. So it depends what you want to achieve.

Prof also offers crystals with AR exactly like Rolex provides. AR is not on the cyclops, it is underneath the crystal, only on the footprint of the cyclops AKA "black hole". Prof's crystals are also 2.5x mag whichever option you choose, so buying one of his usually fixes rep magnification issues. I have a couple I need to do yet, pretty annoying having giant date numbers.

Gen datewheel for comparison, note the smaller date window relative to the cyclops also.

Thanks for all the responses. I ordered a replacement crystal from ebay. I hope that it will solve the high magnification. Otherwise I will have to buy a new dial, but I am not sure if that's gonna be worth it
