Hey guys. I was looking at my gmt and I know for a fact already the cyclops is a bit crooked. My AD confirmed that it was 100% slightly slightly off as well. I am also wondering if the date of the watch is not centered correctly. I look under the cyclops at the date and it appears that the date sits a little high up. Maybe its supposed to look like this Im not sure. Maybe and hopefully im crazy butplease give me your insight I have bad ocd with watches.

Not so sure the cyclops itself is crooked so much as the crystal needs to be rotated about 1-1.5* clockwise

Where is the etched crown in relation to the 6:oo marker?

I'd say a trip to RSC isn't a bad idea...

Silvio Mosiello · 24 June 2012, 04:37 PM

The watchmaker at Mayors my AD said it would have to be sent out Im not sure why it seems like it would be an easy fix.

DrJP9 · 24 June 2012, 04:56 PM

This the mayors at boca town center? If so, I'm somewhat surprised, as from what I was told they have the equipment there to do basic maintenance... Though I suppose this might not count as basic maintainance *shrug*

I'd probably go with what he says and send it to RSC only because I'm not sure an AD sees this kind of thing often enough to properly diagnose/fix the issue.

No the Mayors at Dadeland Mall in Kendall. Its such a simple fix but it bothers me so bad!

Silvio Mosiello · 24 June 2012, 04:56 PM

thx guys

Chad M · 24 June 2012, 09:15 PM

The cyclops is crooked and the date look to be off center on the high side. This would drive me crazy as well. Get it looked after by RSC.

Bangel · 24 June 2012, 09:54 PM

From your photos the date does look like its sitting a bit high in the date aperture. I can't really tell about the cyclops.

It would bother me too. I would go the RSC route, particularly if it's under warranty.

Dunno if it's me but the cyclops looks fine.
However, the date does look to be sitting a
Little high.

The cyclops is indefintey 100% crooked. I didn't notice until a couple weeks ago. I think the sapphire needs to be slightly rotated Clockwise

No you're not.

I also say take to RSC if still under warranty.

Z-Sub · 25 June 2012, 04:17 AM

yes it's a bit off but easy fix.

Silvio Mosiello · 25 June 2012, 04:55 AM

Thank you so much guys. My AD wants to send it out to get everything fixed. The watch is NOT under warantee so im just going to privately sell it =(

dannyjak · 25 June 2012, 10:05 AM

Another disappointment from Rolex, how did they let this one out of the factory

Id also be concerned given the money spent so would get Rolex to fix it

ingoodtime · 25 June 2012, 10:15 AM

I have the sme watch nd did my best to compare your pics with my watch. I think our cyclops is off a bit. I would send it in for repair by RSC.

How about we just trade lol

Silvio Mosiello · 25 June 2012, 10:15 AM

Ya it's pretty ridiculous. The sapphire wasn't crooked until it was replaced due to a chip

Silvio Mosiello · 25 June 2012, 10:19 AM

Think I'm going to go RSC guns blazin and demand a brand new gmt iic and a white gold sky dweller for my inconvenience. A 44 magnum is more persuasive than any words I can think of lol

brandxbrand · 16 July 2012, 03:22 AM

my cyclops is a fraction off a little too on my gmtc. i learnt to live with it though.

RyanJames · 16 July 2012, 03:28 AM

I can't stand it when a cyclops is crooked, however I have seen at least a dozen in AD's some way worse than yours.

The date wheel would really really annoy me though because that is totally sloppy.

At least both things are fixable.

Silvio Mosiello · 16 July 2012, 06:03 AM

Sold it already. I had it for a coupl weeks and couldn't stand it! Got y 216570 now :)

Silvio Mosiello · 16 July 2012, 09:39 AM

The etched crown was to the right of the 6 postition

DJJon · 16 July 2012, 09:47 AM

Sad to see it got to the point you sold it, but now it's over with I guess.

Definitely the date wheel is misaligned, compounded by a misfit cyclops. Both easily fixed though.
