Very interesting. Never knew the cyclops was a separate piece. How on earth do they glue it on?

so, IF a watch is serviced and the "regulator" is replaced before you purchase the watch, is that a good thing bec you got a whole bunch of new parts (making up the regulator)? curious. i have a friend i believe that happened to according to the service records.
