zinnboy 0 Posted April 12, 2014 Hi, if You try it I would go with the soldering iron/ acetone and Stanley knife probably using the soldering iron only on warm - remember that the gasket below the glass may melt away or be attacked by the acetone - would not try a knife neither a lighter. Before doing maybe look around the Cyclops with the fingernails where its weakest part is or where You could pry it up a little after its warm to put some acetone under. (there is risk involved... so I would not overheat and try to be gentle and slow) Copy/ paste from the link Spacemanps provided (nice one): So, can you do it and how? If your watch has an acrylic (plastic) crystal the answer is no, you are stuck with a cyclops. If it has a glass or sapphire crystal the cyclops is in fact glued on to the crystal after the fact. Usually this is done with a glue that cures under ultra-violet light which has optical properties similar to that of glass. These can come off, occasionally I see a watch where the cyclops came off accidently. There are several methods for removal. These tend to work better on sapphire than mineral glass and I am not responsible for any scratched or broken crystals, there is risk involved. The chisel method. — Place a sharp chisel right along the corner of the cyclops and give it a tap. Cyclops pops right off, clean up any glue with acetone. Heat – Apply heat (like with a soldering iron) to the cyclops, this will soften the glue, slide it right off. Remove the crystal and soak it in acetone until the cyclops comes off (1-2 days). Re-install crystal. Install a new xtal without cyclops Combination of all 3. Some cyclopses are stubborn, you can’t fool them all as easily as did Odysseus.

ShovelnTC 31 Posted April 12, 2014 Cyclops are a love em or hate em thing, I personally love em and think that they make a Sub but I'd really hate to see your elation turn to despair if you break the crystal trying to remove the cyclops. I've seen lots of posts in here from guys that have broken their crystals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kemist 0 Posted April 22, 2014 What do you think of the bracelet? I just got mine and I am debating on switching the bracelet.. Just don't know to what.. The bracelet is very good actually, the color is very close to the gen, the logo on the clasp is deep and sharp just like the gen. And of course, it feels great on my skin :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kemist 0 Posted April 22, 2014 Isnt that a fantstic watch my friend!!! the key is in the details! I just love it morning and night ;-) If only the cyclop is better... Then it'd easily be the best sub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dango1960 0 Posted May 7, 2014 I got TC's own version also - red second hand, white on black date wheel and no cyclops. TC told me, in his opinion, that combination made the watch look a little more modern. I completely agree. His watch is really a wonderfully made piece of art. I put mine on an Everest black rubber band. It looks awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was tempted to buy the Rouge, but opted for the V6 as my first rep.... the waiting game begins! The rouge seems to be the best choice among others in the Cadell range IMO, but the one with the cyclop has the classic SUB-look to it.... I just don't bother looking at the date anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
