Sometimes called Date Magnifier(s).

You can buy them and they are glued on, with a special glue. Can I ask what watch it is for?

Kemmner Octopus. TINY date on it :!: Just need someone to point me in the direction to actually buy one...

You can buy them from the Cousins website in various shapes and sizes and they a stuck on with the UV cement that Cousins also sell.

Thát is a real added value of a watch site :bounce:

Imo far more so than peer fluffing topics about ´stunning´ photos of a ´stunning´watch the postman brought and which will be moved to SC for a ´stunning´ resale value soon.

Thanks AH.

Had a look at Cousins and I'm just really confused. I think I nearly bought a whole new glass with a cyclops :shock: Could anyone offer a link or two for the forum idiot :?: :D

Never seen these before, didn`t know they existed.

Not sure I`d start messing around with the watch, though. Unless the cyclops fits absolutely flush, it'll not look right. If the cyclops is flat and the glass is slightly curved there may be problems.

If I was the OP I think I`d leave well alone.

These are specifically for mineral glass. Isn't the Kemmner sapphire?

It is yes and flat. Guess I'll have to keep looking at my phone for the date :!: :)

Sounds to me like a good reason to buy a whole new watch! :) :)
