I'm relatively new to this form but, have taken away many suggestions And a wealth of knowledge from All through the years. I have a Red 1680 and for many years have contemplated removing the cyclops for a T-19 or superdome. I don't think I could ever part with her, as she has sentimental value, otherwise it would make it that much easier to delve into a 1665 or 5513 (problem solved). I know that there are a large majority of purists who believe NOS all the way(and most of the time I'm in 100% agreement) I've built show cars for many years, and although trophies are nice, I believe that the only way to truly enjoy them, is to get as much seat time (behind the wheel) as possible. Your thoughts??

If I am understanding your analogy, you are comparing a show car to a "safe queen" watch, and are saying that the only way to truly enjoy a car is to drive it...

I agree that you should wear the watch

If that's what you're asking

Thanks for reply. My question is with regards to the removal of the cyclops for a T-19 or Superdome Crystal. As for the watch, it's in rotation and is worn a great deal of the time. The only thing sitting in my safe that I don't wear is a yacht Master. Don't ask why

It is easy enough to change back, I say go for it. If it doesn't sing to you, then you know what to do!
