I have the same problem... How could I rotate the crystal without disassembling the entire watch?

I think @smoke had a comment somewhere saying that you can use duct tape and just stick it on the crystal and rotate, similar to opening the case back

Gary from Clark's mesesaged me earlier saying that the AR is applied "under and on top" of the cyclops. I don't know if this is an improvement from previous (unimpressive) reviews regarding this as a suitable upgrade to the ceramic sub.

I also know [MENTION=70346]xj4sonx[/MENTION] is working on something regarding this Clark's version as well.

Yes I've done it 100 times.and I told many to do it it's fast and easy if you have no tools and are not a modder

I wanted to use the clark's AR crystal on the 5 digit subs to be able to read the date easier. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Mine is currently at vac, getting bk dwo and clarks installed. I know its not a big improvement, actually clarks doesnt have LEC, but it will correct the height

I actually did this, its easy, just press on hard and start rotating, however it turned out that the cyclop itself is crooked, another reason to switch crystal

Impressions does Clark's AR give the black hole effect of gen No. Does it reduce blue from noob crystal yes. Is it centered and straight yes. Am I happy enough for 35 vs 350 yes......for now

Blue, and magnification looks off, like maybe 2.0 not 2.5x
