Cyclops Magnifier

[tbandy]

Hey Guys
I have a submariner and just recently the cyclops came loose and now I have to re-attach it but don't know what glue to use
I know there is a UV glue that needs UV light to cure, but I've heard that some people use Super Glue, so I want to hear your opinions
Thanks in advance for any help

I only could give you my special tutorial on how to take them off the easy way.
to glue them on, maybe ask @KJ2020

Don't use Super glue anywhere near a crystal. First, it cures way too fast to allow for minor adjustments. But more importantly it off-gasses a chemical that will leave a white haze on parts in proximity. You can't clean the haze away not even with a razor blade. UV glue is best but this is a somewhat advanced task that few people will be happy with their first attempt at doing. Maybe try practicing a few times on a junk crystal. You can release the glue with acetone, then rinse parts with alcohol to try again.

@KJ2020 Thanks for the advise, as always your knowledge is highly appreciated !
I will stay away from the super glue and will buy the UV glue
I will post some pics when done.
