I bought it off Ebay. There are aftermarket ones available from other companies.

I'm curious now. If you ever wanted to remove the cyclops in the future would you be able to without damaging the crystal? If so how would you do it and would it leave a glue residue? Thanks

Looks great, but I would go get glasses if you need them. I wear glasses or contact lenses and have no problem reading the date on my DSSD with corrected vision. Not a big deal. But you did do a nice job.

I think it's very cool and suits your needs. Also, i like to customize and if you aren't selling it, who cares.
Good job and even cooler to put the extra Cyclops on your extra watches

Nice, but I've always wondered why the SD ("tool watch") even has a date in the first place. I think it would look way better without one.

I think it is a great mod!
I will probably do it as soon as I buy another SD or possibly a DSSD

Just to update this thread. I damaged my Triple 6 and my AD was sending it back to Rolex for a quote to repair. I felt I should take off the cyclops to not upset Rolex.

One tiny drop of acetone placed around the cyclops, and a few minutes later it popped right off with zero evidence it had ever been there.

Wow very cool. Is it me or does it look cloudy on the video? Is that just from the camera angle?
