Rolex cyclops on a Tag...Photoshop help..

Has anyone tried adding a cyclops to a non-Rolex watch. I am wondering how my Tag would look with a cyclops....

Can one of the resident photop wizards help me out and put a cyclops on my Tag so I can see how it looks...?

I don`t know...in it`s original state, this Tag is beautiful diver in it`s own right. Putting cyclops on it would make it look like a Rolex knock-off, and it`s not a fate that this watch deserve.
I mean, no matter how old, it`s still a watch made by respectable Swiss company (many folks here hate Tag Heuer, I`m not a big fan myself, but I had very similar Professional Diver and I can tell you that it`s one good, very robust and reliable watch).
So enjoy it for a years to come.

Good advice, I had a watch guy look at it, he couldn't guarantee that the cyclops would look right, no bubbles, aligned, etc... I will keep it as is for now...

It keeps near perfect time, until the battery stops working...

frankenTag-- lookout..

Yes, I did.

After buying a new St. Mortiz Stainless Steel watch this week I realized my TagHeuer jubilee bracelet showed its age. The watch needed a new look.

(i) So I put my 24 year old TagHeuer on a black Velcro strap. I've seen photos of vintage subs with NATO or Velcro staps. SO I follow in that thinking.

(ii) Then, I had a cyclops installed. I really like the changes, which is all the matters when you modify your watch, man I love it, it feels like a new watch...It's my new weekend watch...

No reason to sell this baby now...She's a keeper....!

Yeah, I'd keep it too. The couple of hundred bucks is not worth the time and memories you spent with this watch. I regret selling my Tag 1000 Black Coral few years ago. A Tag is a great watch imo.
Nice modification btw.

From an 88' Black Coral owner your mods look fantastic.

My bracelet too is very worn and I've tried a few different bands. Tried a bond NATO and it didn't look right. Currently its on a matte black mesh and I think it really suits it.

Great watches. Mine only gains 1 sec/month. Not bad for a 23 yr old watch.

Cheers,
B.
