Way to go Dan! It does such complete the watch IMHO and looks great.

I didn't have a UV light either and went to the auto parts store and bought one for $8. ( Mechanics use them to look for antifreeze leaks )

It is actually shocking how easy it was to install and what surprised me the most was how without the light, the glue stayed inert with no stick what so ever but once you hit it with the light, BAM... That sucker better be in place because it is now locked down in a few seconds for good!

Glad you did it and enjoy.
Wow thanks, everybody. Appreciate all the comments.

Yes, David. You are the trendsetter. It looks right at home on this watch and the dial layout really allowed for a nice balance.
Thanks for the inspiration, my friend!

I never liked that blank grey area at the in the bottom center of the heritage. The cyclops really breaks up that element of the dial and adds to the appearance.

I may put a cyclops on my new explorer. So at least the "short hand" will look bigger for five seconds every minute!

EXCELLENT! it was as if the dial was meant to have the cyclops.....i liked it before, but, the cyclops really fills out the dial and balances things out.

good move.

I'm a bit surprised how positive the comments have been.

It's the little things that sometimes mean a lot.

Dan , You should have had some more respect for the old Tudor Oyster date chrono and put the cyclops over the 3 o'clock side .

Love it , well done .
