Ha Ha , this is timely(pun)…. 2 days ago I removed a cyclops from my sub 11610. For 30+ years I’ve looked at this everyday and thought it doesn’t look balanced. I sent my bracelet off to be restored(re-pinned)etc. and thought dammit I’ll give it a go at removing that glass carbuncle……and I did and I am so happy how it looks now….shoukd e done it earlier.
So why did you not just buy a no date originally I hear you ask????…… at the time, I couldn’t find one and had some money burning a hole in my pocket and couldn’t wait. I don’t really notice the date window alignment. |

I kinda like the cyclops but looks good without too.
But, what I really love, is a nice hole case Exp II on a strap. I don't know why but it's my favorite model of Rolex for strap use, always looks good I think. I'd love to pick up a black dial on someday for strap use. |

Razor blade and a ball-peen hammer.

But you can retry as it only takes more glue and your ball-peen hammer and razor blade. This took a few tried before I was happy. |

There are some watches that look without it. I used similar approach to remove the giant "pimple" on my now-sold Seiko King Turtle. The day date looked so much cleared without the giant cyclops which actually distorted the whole look.

Nice. Still would be a problem from the glare of the cyclops unless I could source with AR coating? But as per another thread, it may be an option at rolex to get a AR crystal replacement?
