Tudor models with dates have a decent size display with numbers large enough to be easily seen without a cyclops. Also, the date window on many Tudors are placed more appropriately, further out on the dial.

On my D-Blue, the date window is too close to the center and the numbers are small. Same movement is in my Sub and with the cyclops, the date is fine. The entire watch, including the movement, was designed for a cyclops. If Rolex had made a specific movement for the DSSD, the calendar wheel would likely be larger, with a window placed closer to the edge of the dial, with larger numbers.

Ya, I see what yo are saying now. Personally I like the no cyclops look and can read the date fairly easily on my SD4K.
