If The Cyclops Was Optional, Would You Have It?

[Clutch Cargo]

Just curious how others feel. If Rolex offered the cyclops as an option on their watches, would you op to own your watch without it?

Also, would an AD replace a cyclops sapphire crystal with a non cyclops sapphire crystal? Would Rolex consider it an unauthorized modification, thus voiding the warranty and refuse to service the watch in the future?

If I were offered the cyclops as an option, I would not have it on any of my watches. I have a Sub no date and a Daytona, both of which do not have a date function and of course no cyclops. I much prefer the look and feel of their crystals over my cyclops-ed models.

I have an Omega Seamaster and have no trouble reading the date without a cyclops. It seems to me that Rolex could just use a larger or bolder font and eliminate the cyclops. At this point, it's probably looked upon as traditional, and something that makes a Rolex a Rolex.

Sorry if this an old topic, I searched but could not find this exact question asked.
