Cyclops Scratched !!! Help
This weekend I looked down and noticed dirt on the date cyclops of my Sub-c, I wiped and wiped but OH NO... Its a scratch. (looks like 2 little nicks)
Any idea if there is a way to buff these? Im sure not. How much will having one of these replaced by Rolex and how do I even go about doing that if I purchased from a member here? Thanks

It's really annoying isn't it??? On one of my watches that has a glass cyclops, there's a scratch! It's real annoying! I put some toothpaste on it, and buffed it with Q-Tip, helped a bit. Try it?

Look at it closely. After a stint in a dunk tank for a chairity I noticed what I thought was a scratch in the cyclops. I could not get it off. Then I realized the cyclops is sapphire.
I got some Windex and a good sharp Swiss Army knife, with the blade perpendicular to the cyclops and "scratched" off whatever it was - paint maybe. Good luck!

The cyclops is just glued on the crystal. Every easy for a watchmaker to install a new one.
