I’ve often thought about doing this to my 5 digit Sub date, but I’ve never thought about the position of the date window before.

I think your watch looks good, well done.

OP - watch looks great and well done!!
Glad it worked out without issues.

I personally like the Sea Dwelleresque, non-cyclops date.

Enjoy!

Very interesting that you would attempt this and glad it worked out for you, but the result is not for me.

I second this lol. Looks cool but no chance I’d try it myself. Good for you!

If you still have this watch when you are a bit older, trust me you will miss that cyclops…

My eyesight in the last two years has deteriorated to where the little numbers on a date window are too darn small. I miss having a cyclops and think I might actually need to make my way back to either a Rolex with cyclops or a no-date watch. Getting old(er) and all that.

Not the content I was expecting with the caption- razor & a ball peen hammer!
Most decidedly, a lack of mayhem.
Nice job and a cool look��

I like the cyclops. I’d hate to see what you’d get if selling it sans cyclops.

Wow, your brave...or nuts! Gus, that looks really good. But I do not have what it takes to attempt this......maybe on my brother's watch lol, but certainly not mine.
