Hi all

I know this has been posted many times, but since someone had told me that the cyclops magnification on my LVC is not up to spec, I would like another opinion as I can't see what's wrong with my watch. Is there anything wrong with the magnification?

The comment about the problem is referenced in my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvZscHWaTY8
Thanks

You have nothing wrong with your watch or its magnification just wear and enjoy your watch.

fai9al · 6 January 2015, 08:47 PM

That is actually PERFECT!

Enjoy!

Looks weaker than 2.5x. Hope that helps.

Well on a computer screen that could be down to the persons eyes viewing it plus the camera lens that took the picture still looks fine to me even the 28 date. Afraid some of you guys worry far too much about someones hearsay about Rolex watches.

It would be easier to compare if you turned your date to 28.

IMO your watch's magnification seems to be fine. If it's too big it'll be a problem too as the projected image will run off the cyclops border if you look at it from an angle.

rolex_DateJust · 6 January 2015, 09:36 PM

Looks good to me... But I'm not a pro. Great video by the way!!

My YM has a somewhat weak magnification but I got over it within the week that I purchased it. Wear it and enjoy it!! to me there's nothing wrong with it

grrr · 6 January 2015, 09:36 PM

hmm
After looking at the pictures I'm not quite sure.
That may be a false impression.

Sorry for the confusion. Your watch seems fine.
Looks a LITTLE BIT small but not as serious as the ones in the BLNR owners thread.

greggsiam · 6 January 2015, 09:40 PM

The eye to subject distance will change the relationship of the square in the magnification. With that said, it looks the same as the reference picture.

Wait......

You can't tell. So it appears fine. But someone told you it wasn't. And you can't tell. But you decided to go to an anonymous online forum to confirm.

Do you see where I'm going with this. Just wear it and enjoy.

Nope, I can't tell as I'm not a pro and I don't know what is the magnitude of error that people are referring to when talking about cyclops issue. And yes I'm on this forum to ask people's opinions before I make my own decision whether to take this further for a professional check.

Good sir, you are not picking up what I am laying down.

You can't even tell. That's not a dig. It means, if you can't tell, there is nothing wrong. Let it go. Wear your watch. Enjoy it.

This.....

Ferdelious · 7 January 2015, 12:32 AM

Maybe everyone who is concerned about the cyclops magnification should get this watch

As long as you can read the date I think you're good.

navydoc · 6 January 2015, 09:41 PM

Looks fine to me.

CKL1213 · 6 January 2015, 10:04 PM

After this someone will tell you, your green is not green enough, not up to the rolex green spec

Never ending OCD

Just enjoy the watch

Sublover2166 · 6 January 2015, 10:23 PM

Good.

brandrea · 6 January 2015, 10:23 PM

Nope, enjoy

MTROIS · 6 January 2015, 10:31 PM

Mag on your watch looks good to me. On the ones I have seen in real life and that were low, the edges of the date window were clearly smaller than the edges of the cyclop.

I feel this is a real quality issue for Rolex at the moment. People can belittle this issue as much as they want, but this is not worthy of a $10,000 watch, whether mass produced or not.
Not sure how people would feel if their windshield was cracked on their Bimmer or Benz.... Even though it is mass produced, it must be flawless, and above all, within specs as advertised. My $0.02.

Rolex addict · 6 January 2015, 11:54 PM

It looks fine to me. The magnification on my 116613LB is NOTICEABLY small. I spotted it as soon as I opened the box.
