Solutions for noob v5 cyclops

[Akuwes710]

So after 3 different watches on QCs, the one i accept is all good, except the cyclops that is just slightly crooked. Trust me. Previous 2 watches had many other flaws.

So after reading up on this stuff. I guess i have some budget options: 1. Remove the cyclops and reglue, 2. Buy clark crystal that will also fix the height issue.
The question i have is, is it possible to heat up the cyclop without removing the crystal from case, and nudge the cyclops a hairline without removing it? And what is your opinion about clark crystal compared to noob? Gen crystal is out of the question. Im fairly new to rep game, so please be nice. Thanks!

And yes the dwo is not perfect, i know.

Looks to me like you need to rotate the crystal a fraction, nothing else

I am not even sure the crystal is rotated. It often depends on the angle you hold the watch.

Hi, imho You should have rejected this one as well but i know there comes a time when You say "what the heck, I want my watch before it get´s worse and I´ll fix it".

If You are going to lengths I´ve read that the Clarks crystal is an improvement, to make it even better mainly change the gasket as well to have the crystal sitting lower and flush with the bezelring. DWO should be fixed, maybe replaced if it looks like that on other nrs. as well.

Simple fix would be to remove the cyclops by heating and trying to pry it up (razor?) without cracking the crystal. If the inner ar is removed and the right transparent glue used You will get a good result.

If you heat it with crystal installed, you will break it, trust me

I had an incoming watch that I was considering removing the crystal. So I practiced on a cheap sub I have. Mind you I do no other modding so I am not the most patient or steady hand. But I did want to take a stab at this.
I used a soldering iron to heat up and every minute put a razor to the cyclops to see if it came loose. It did not and I cracked the crystal.

How do you rotate the crystal? I have just bought a basic watch tools kit, and im new to this watch construction. Haha. Still a lot to learn. Ill check on the etched crown position first
