You can use a hammer and chisel (seriously) from what i have seen on other forums. Seems to be a relatively easy procedure but think you should look at the pics first. Personally i feel that some models w/o the cyclops look abit funny e.g. explorer2.
If you go to RSC they will ask you to replace the whole crystal.

Its a signature. Maybe RSC provides the removal service for a fee.

Not sure what u mean by signature. Think other shave check befoe and RSC do not remove cyclops but will offer to replace the whole crystal.

Its funny, involving a vice to hold the fake watch and a torch. Think the fakes use acrylic thats why it melted.

the other day i knocked my DJ into the wall at work. after awhile I was looking, I think the cyclops with a good finger nail and scratch, can come off. doesnt look too secure
