panerai153 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Back in June, I started a thread about the terrible Cyclops on my 063. This is a really nice 063 with a Swiss ETA 2893-2 movement and some custom work, relume, a better crown guard as well as a Jacob caseback. The biggest problem was the Cyclops, it was horrible. Every time you looked at it depending on the light, it looked different, sometimes it had a white reflection that looked like a piece of lume, sometimes there was a "halo or bull's-eye" effect like there was a Cyclops within a Cyclops!! This is very evident in the second photo. The numbers didn't seem to be in focus as well, they looked like you were looking through a dirty glass. Since the movement needed a minor repair, I decided to try to find a new crystal to send along with the watch. Several folks recommended that I contact DSN, which I did. He had a crystal, sold it and shipped it to me. The watch and new crystal went north to misiekped. He fixed the problem with the movement, and fitted the new crystal. I got the watch back a few days ago, and I was really happy with the results. the only problem that I can see, and this is one that I can easily live with is the Cyclops AR has a bit of blue reflection, not completely colorless. However, the numbers are legible an there are no strange affects in the Cyclops. Thanks and accolades to misiekped for a really great job as usual. Here are the before and after photos:1-2 before, 3- new crystal/cyclops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
