edgematic 0 Posted October 13, 2012 Hey guys, As stated in my review the AP Diver V3 has a cyclopse that is too blue compared with the gen. Since not a lot of modders are able to mod (and AR'ing a cyclops is quite expensive and not easy), I started thinking about making a new cyclopse with AR. This has been proposed by me to Uwe and he has made some for the ROO's a while ago. But since he has health/family problems I needed to look for another source. Member Big Crown (trusted vendor on RG, RWI) succeeded an amazing project to make some Rolex crystals with AR'ed cyclopses. I contacted him and he wanted to do this. The manufacturer will start the production of the cyclops, should be ready in 3-4 weeks. BigCrown was able to get them produced. Better be fast with these if you're interested as there is a limited run on the cyclopses. Once they are produced, a tutorial will be posted with the mods to perform. *Mods, if I violate the rules, please send me a PM. Thanks! Price is: $42.50 each***** This is the pricing structure with regards to time: Friday, October 12, 2012 through Friday, October 19, 2012: $42.50 + Shipping per AP Lens Saturday, October 20, 2012 - Friday, October 26, 2012: $47.50 + Shipping per AP Lens Saturday, October 27, 2012 - Friday, November 2, 2012: $52.50 + Shipping per AP Lens Saturday, November 3, 2012 - Friday, October 19, 2012: $57.50 + Shipping per AP Lens Shipping Prices: shipped from the US to you, so if you are in the United States: USPS Priority with tracking: $4.95 USPS Express: $18.95 Outside of the United States: USPS Priority Mail: $18 USPS Express (EMS): $34 For payment info just send me a PM!

Kaiser 4 Posted October 16, 2012 Any idea about the skill level needed to be able to perform this mod? Will a rudimentary skill level suffice or will it involve removing hands, dial etc..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edgematic 0 Posted October 16, 2012 Any idea about the skill level needed to be able to perform this mod? Will a rudimentary skill level suffice or will it involve removing hands, dial etc..? Imo you need to be able to work on a watch quite well, it involves removing hands & dial indeed. A tutorial will be posted in a few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edgematic 0 Posted November 23, 2012 Here is a link to the first viewing of Prototype 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL26IGEBzlE As can be seen, we are 95% there. BigCrown had no choice to reject the initial AR because we can still see a slight blue hue. The delay will be 2-3 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sconehead 5 Posted January 14, 2013 ...as far as I'm aware he's got them now, he posted this on the 10th, Hi guys, thanks for your patience. The project is finished. Hurray! I am posting pics today of the original rep version, and all three prototypes. The final version has a nice, completely colorless AR coating as was designed. I will receive the lenses tomorrow evening. Project Budget: only about 60% of the people that signed up for a AP Cyclops Lens actually followed through and paid for the pre-order. In the meantime, PureTime has come out with their version for $2 cheaper than my price. Therefore, i have no choice but to offer the remainder of the lenses at or below the PureTime price. Thank you...updates to follow. look here, http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/ordering-instructions-for-119750p7.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
