Be careful.. Dont do it on a GMT-C as there is antireflective coating on the underside of the crystal. Images posted at http://www.minus4plus6.com/116710.htm#cyclops

I’d like to reposition the cyclop after removing it a little bit off-centered so that i can see it a little angle from my wrist.

Where I can buy the glue and of course the sun rays can do the job, isn’t it?

I was contemplating a Rolex Explorer II but was turned off by the horrid Cyclops. I found this post and with it, hope.

I took the acetone route soaking a new Rolex crystal in a glass of acetone for a couple of days. The bubble then popped off with my thumbnail.

My watchmaker installed the “bubbleless” crystal and returned the original crystal along with my watch.

The dial is beautiful and the date is now visible from wider angles rather than looking down through the magnifier.

Thanks for the info.
