Rolex magnification issue is my watch 2 1/2

I'm also new to this blog I know there's been some issues with the magnification on the cyclone I like to ask your expert opinions whether or not my watch is 2 1/2 my eyesight isn't like it used to be and the bigger I can get it the better I only purchased a watch just about a week ago so wouldn't be an issue getting it look after many thanks to all

Looks good. I've read elsewhere that it should be about the same size as the numbers on the bezel. My GMT looks to have about the same mag. Congrats on the new piece!

You're fine. If you're 2.3 and over, you're a-ok

This is one of the more magnified dates I've seen on the BLNR. Looks good.

Looks like mine too! Based on the responses so far I guess we are both OK.

Could be a lot worse.

Maybe a bit small, but that seems fine

Yours looks a lot like mine.

Hold yours out at an arms length. If it's too small to read, you need glasses.

Looks the same as mine. I don't think they are 2.5x (personally think they are just under 2x), but that is good enough for me. When looking at it straight on, the height of the magnified date window is about the same as the width of the 6 on the bezel, which gives it a balanced look IMO.
