Rolex = Cyclops. They look strange without one.

Watchdog · 8 July 2011, 11:22 AM

Quintessential Rolex.

landroverking · 8 July 2011, 11:28 AM

I like them the way they came. SD good without. Sub DJ GMT Exp and others need to stay intact. If you need to pull it off of a sub buy a SD

steve1985 · 8 July 2011, 11:29 AM

its the signature of Rolex. I like the cyclops!

I did pull it off and it was goooooooooood ~ !

ExpII · 8 July 2011, 11:33 AM

Hate. It.

Boothroyd · 8 July 2011, 12:28 PM

Hate it, too. I will take the "short hands" of my Explorer over having to deal with a cyclops any day. To each their own.

kyle L · 8 July 2011, 12:33 PM

I want it off! Thinking about finding a crystal without it for my 1675.

Chipmunk · 8 July 2011, 12:33 PM

I love cyclops. I don't care if my watch doesn't have a date as long as it has cylops.

pawnshopkiller · 8 July 2011, 12:35 PM

kyle L · 8 July 2011, 12:36 PM

That's it! I don't want the cyclops!

The Floridian · 8 July 2011, 12:47 PM

I love those pics. I feel like the watches look sleeker and more finished without the cyclops.

It just seems like a dated thing to include on nearly ALL models.

victor · 8 July 2011, 01:05 PM

Cyclops the endless debate, I think it is part of Rolex history and I love it!!!!

sig-x · 8 July 2011, 01:16 PM

Can't stand it.

KiKo · 8 July 2011, 01:19 PM

I like it

Eric88 · 8 July 2011, 01:36 PM

Here's my SD 16600 that came from the factory with no cyclops. I love it.

I also ***LOVE*** this thread where the amazing poster has lots of great photos of vintage red Subs with non-cyclops crystals. Way to go! I'll try to sneak one in here if he does not mind.

I did the same thing. (well had it done. wasnt up to it myself) gives the sub the seadweller look. also that red hand is cool.

and no, it is not what makes a rolex a rolex.

perpetualman88 · 8 July 2011, 02:50 PM

Chris B · 8 July 2011, 04:54 PM

Love or hate doesn't figure, I need it to see the date, lol

George Ab · 8 July 2011, 05:13 PM

I hated it for years. It endeared me to the SD, still my favorite Rolex diver with the LV as a close second. Over the years I have learned to accept and actually embrace the cyclopes. Fifty year old eyes and it really is nice.

TSW · 8 July 2011, 05:18 PM

Love it!
Classic Rolex signature.

closey · 8 July 2011, 05:25 PM

Love it!!

bayerische · 8 July 2011, 06:29 PM

Mistry · 8 July 2011, 06:34 PM

i am not a fan on the sports models so much...

duckdown · 8 July 2011, 07:07 PM

Love it.

Also love the watches without it.

A masterpiece either way, IMO!
