As others have said, research and source the original no cyclops date in it’s most modern 40mm ceramic iteration, the 116600

To me the Cyclops defines Rolex. I love it. Do you though.

Submariner Date 41mm without cyclops (is it possible?)
If I saw a Submariner without the cyclops, I’d assume it’s a fake, and a real bad fake.

Me too. A Rolex without a cyclops is like a dickie turtleneck. Or a house with brick only on the front. It isn’t complete.

Only interested in 5 digit watches, I have tried the newer ones, bought some for my wife and they are not for me. So yes a 16600 would give the same look, but bought my Sub 10 years ago unworn as a full set for less than half what a comparable condition 16600 would cost me today. Much easier to just pop off the cyclops as I did. Plus the sub is lighter wears a bit better in my opinion. I personally love the no cyclops look, don't care if others think its fake as I don't wear my watches for others. No plans to ever sell as my son will get my entire collection but it is easy enough to put a new cyclops on or a new crystal.

I'm still a fan of date with no cyclops. 116600 is probably the perfect all around watch but I would certainly not be afraid of taking a cyclops off a Sub or EXPII, I'm not in it for investment or concerned if other people think my watch was fake because it didn't leave the factory that way.
Those posting that the cyclops is a hallmark of Rolex are exactly right though. I got the "is that a Rolex" comments with my Submariner Date with cyclops, yet refreshingly few comments to date on the much more substantial and flashy DeepSea without it. |

I am having my Tudor Sub serviced and will replace the crystal with a non-cyclops, generic brand substitute, only because I wear it a lot and don’t want to wreak a real one… again.
I love the look of the naked top hat crystal. |
