It was equiped by a late 80's service plexi (wihch could be fitted on 1665 and Tudor sub) :

Then began my quest for the right plexi (ref tropic 19) and goodies .
After cleaning the watch, cleaned the bezel insert, to put a service plexi (ref tropic 19 too), to find the right goodies, the right riveted Rolex bracelet (sold at this time for my next watch ref 116520 ...), the watch seemed almost perfect for me (even if the dial is a 80's service one) :

Here we can easily see the service plexi which isn't domed on the sides (ref tropic 19 service plexi) :

Since yesterday, I ve taken the time to pick up my superdomes(yes two in one shot !!!), and I ve taken the time to put it on my watch, and then, it s totally magical !!!
The dial is underlined by the shape of the plexi !
Reflects are wonderful, the light runs on the plexi !!
So, now let s talk the pictures of my vintage Rolex on its vintage tropic (the bracelet, not the plexi Lol!) :
