126610 LN and LV have different cyclops glare.

[will949]

So I have a 2023 LV and a 1 day old LN. My LV has a perfectly clear cyclops even when outside under blue skies. My new LN however has a blue tint to it both inside and out when viewed at an angle. Especially when reflecting outside. Not super crazy, but enough for me to notice since I own both and can easily compare. I understand it's the AR coating, but not sure why 2 very recent models have such different looking cyclops'.

Anyone else have a new Cyclops model with this blue tint?

Should I ask my AD?

Looks like the LN is picking up a color from the environment being reflected. Can you take pictures side by side in the same environment?

I agree. However that doesn't happen on my LV. Don't have access to the watches right now but I can upload when I do.

Just wondering if its s normal to have different cyclops on basically the same watches close to the same age.

My two week new LV has the same blue tint like your LN.

The LN is reflecting the window with a blue sky.

I also have two Subs purchased a few weeks apart that are different. One has a blue tint and the other a brown/almost purplish tint. To me the brown one looks slightly more clear; the brown reflection is much less obvious than the blue one.

Both were purchased new at an AD so I'm guessing this is normal?

Yes exactly same situation. I definitely notice the bluish color more now because of this.

Been like this for decades, some cyclops have more of a tint then others. Something in the Rolex supply chain.

I can confirm that it is not just a reflection of the color of the environment.

Under my indoor lamp which is white, one cyclops shows a very clear blue reflection of the lamp. The other one shows a more subtle/dimmer reflection that has a slightly brown tint.

finally was able to get some pictures....

both are recent AD purchases.

Thank you for the info. Bummer because I really like the clearer cyclops. But as long as its "normal".

black reflects the background

Just saw a listing on the classifieds and noticed the same thing. All is good.

My 2022 LV has a blue tint/reflection at certain angles now that you mention it. But you see it only at an angle - straight on the cyclops is clear and sharp (at least mine)

The critical question is whether that white piece of plastic has the proper information imbedded to assure its blue reflection authenticity and provenance

here they are side by side....

Thank you for the comparison pic! This is exactly how mine look as well, and should put to bed any theories about the blue tint coming from the environment.
