Anybody know if those can be installed in a way that it could be removed without messing up the crystal (should I sell it or just change my mind)?

I think it is perfectly possible to add a cyclops and then remove it without trace.

Looking good! I am grateful that the question of applying a cyclops has been asked and answered as I am looking to add one to my Vintage GMT. How does the Steinhart wear compared to the Squale? I was amazed at how different my Steinhart wears to my Trident, given they are the same case diameter.

Both quite solid in terms of feel. I heard from Bob at Ofrei (that link above) that putting a cyclops on a highly domed crystal could be tough...esp if it doesn't lay flat bc of the dome. I am waiting for info from steiny tho.
