SD43 with no cyclops

Am sure someone kindly did a render of an SD43 without the cyclops but I can't find it.

Alternatively has anyone been brave enough and removed their cyclops either deliberately or accidentally.

Would love to see a real picture of one without.

Thanks in anticipation

Would also love to see pics. I'm too scared to modify Rolex's but it's something I'd love to see.

It would make it a damaged SD43. Rolex knew what they were doing. If it doesn’t suit, why not buy something that does.....

Surely it would make it a modified SD43? ‘Damaged’ implies it would have been accidental...

It’d look weird with that inset date window.

Obviously that might be the lesser of two evils if you hate the cyclops.

Pop it off and then show us! Supposedly it's just held on with a little super glue, a solid tap with a wood chisel laid against the crystal is all it takes.
