2017 43mm Rolex Sea-dweller
Have seriously been thinking about this and a possible next purchase if all I've read is true, I sold my deep sea as I felt it was just two thick and top heavy, I bought a subc to replace it but couldn't get on with the cyclops so now own a NDc, however the new SD is 43mm which I would much prefer these dimensions as I do find the ND a tad small, but it's got a cyclops!!! Just ruined to be would be the perfect watch, so, if I bought one and removed the cyclops would that ruin the resale value!!! People's thoughts would be appreciated + general thoughts on the watch

Glueing a cyclops on would create a larger surface area in that region of the crystal and hence a greater force over the area under the cyclops. This could potentially take the force beyond the limits of the crystal (unless the whole crystal was made thicker).
I can't see that extra force pushing down on the cyclops would make it pop off (acting against the greater force).
Just my thoughts based on basic physics and engineering. I could well be wrong, it was a long time ago! [emoji1]
