Who in US can remove and reattach a cyclops? Got unlucky with QC photos and couldn’t see the misalignment cause of the angle but now I got it it’s bugging me.

Cyclops removal & realign

It would be easier to just rotate the crystal. Just remove the bezel assembly and tension ring and you should be able to pop the crystal off. Just put it back on correctly.
Good luck

I might consider that but the engraved crown at 6o'clock is currently lined up perfect.
Ah. That sucks.. moving a cyclops isnt gonna be easy man. I know you can remove it using a xacto knife or a very thin razor. You do have to apply some heat to the cyclops before removing to loose up the glue but I have no idea what adhesive would be that clear after setting.
It would def need to be a very strong one.

Good one bro, instructions are solid. Esslinger needs to do better on glue cleanup and straight installation though holy cow

I'd sacrifice that for a better cyclops alignment any day. Re-gluing the cyclops is not worth it.

Have to say I agree. I've removed several cyclops. Really shouldn't do it without the crystal off the watch. About 45 seconds in the center point flame of a candle or other lighter and a couple flicks with an exacto knife will pop it off. But there's risk of scratching the underside of it since some (maybe many) rep cyclops aren't made of sapphire. I didn't really care that I damaged a couple since I was turning the crystal into a non-cyclops one anyway. If any AR is involved on the top of the crystal or either side of the cyclops, you can forget about it remaining intact.
If you have the crystal off anyway, set the cyclops where it needs to be and see if you can live with the LEC. Gen LEC is nearly impossible to see without magnification and specific lighting, so if you can see it without that it's a tell anyway.
That job is pretty awful espcially for a business trying to sell a product lol
Oascom, this something you'd tackle? I've got a pm in to you seems like itd be in your "custom mod" territory, price? Also have a question on a broke DD40 pm'd to you. You can see I've been very unlucky on my last rep order and will be kicking myself for a while.
