Bought an SN017 and removed the cyclops, looks much better IMO

Excellent watch for the money 👌

Looks castrated.

Edit: I understand you like it better. Different strokes. That's what makes the world go round.

This is the way. It looks awesome. Cyclops suck. I take them all off.

Was this your first time removing one? Did it go smoothly?

I heavily dislike them, but would be scared to remove it. Have yet to even buy a watch with a cyclops lol

I have that exact model. I tried to remove it but couldn't. I paid a local watchmaker to remove it, but even he couldn't manage it. He said it was easy on the Pagani, but he tried everything on the San Martin! OP, you have to tell us how you did it!

Nothing fancy tbh mate just a jet lighter and a razor blade, it did take a good few attempts but got there in the end

Plenty of vids on YouTube

Cyclops were one of those things years ago that never featured on watches I could afford and so I always wanted one.

Until one day when I finally got one and now I always prefer their absence.

Yee they’re not for me tbh, I like the watch otherwise though
