Been thinking about these and would like some opinions.

1st is a cyclops from a 16610 crystal. Too much?

Other is an original brushed silver Tudor datewheel for a 2824.

BZA · 16 October 2013, 05:54 AM

I like 'em both! Good ideas bud!

alixg · 16 October 2013, 05:55 AM

I found the pelagos simply perfect as it is. The cyclop just doesn't fit

But the wheel could look good though

Why not, it's your watch....you can always change it back if you do not like it.

NKflyer · 16 October 2013, 06:01 AM

I'm kinda indifferent about the date wheel. The cyclops looks

alixg · 16 October 2013, 06:02 AM

Sorry for the double post ...

simongpaez · 16 October 2013, 06:16 AM

I like it with no cyclop

Baco Noir · 16 October 2013, 06:26 AM

Neither for me. The cyclops interferes with the snowflake hand as it passes and the white date wheel matches the dial hour indices better. Both are just my opinion and worth what you paid for it - nada! Do what you like.

Vincent65 · 16 October 2013, 06:30 AM

nah - don't bother

this.

kieselguhr · 16 October 2013, 06:39 AM

If you like it by all means.
I wouldn't. Might as well pick up a Tudor snowflake.

WatchFeen · 16 October 2013, 06:44 AM

nope & nope.

bottom of the ninth · 16 October 2013, 06:47 AM

date wheel is ok

tallroller · 16 October 2013, 06:51 AM

Pelagos is perfect as is. I'd play with strap but that's it for me.

JGX · 16 October 2013, 06:54 AM

Don't think much of the Cyclops if I'm honest, I'm afraid. But there's no doubt the Pelagos is one stunning watch!

mjclark32 · 16 October 2013, 07:13 AM

IMO, I the cyclops looks odd. Then again, if the sub never came with it and someone put it on as a mod I'd probably say the same thing... I'm no help... haha

Director EDTF · 16 October 2013, 07:25 AM

I don't care for the cyclops look on the Pelagos. Jury is out on the date wheel!

nauticajoe · 16 October 2013, 07:59 AM

No cyclops for me.

KBM · 16 October 2013, 08:01 AM

Please don't ruin that watch with a cyclops!

HDHNTER · 16 October 2013, 08:52 AM

Not a fan of either.

cop414 · 16 October 2013, 09:02 AM

Doesn't look to bad but I'd leave it... less is more in this case I believe.

John in MA · 16 October 2013, 09:09 AM

Thanks folks. I was on the fence about the cyclops myself and glad to get the opinions. As for the datewheel still not sure. I'm a big fan of silver datewheels though in this case the white does go with the dial .....the other thing though is the font. The newer one is like every other watches. The older ones had a unique font to them for the numbers.

CWIN · 16 October 2013, 09:23 AM

Definitely not for me. But if it makes you happy, I say go for it!

STEELINOX · 16 October 2013, 09:24 AM

Ditch the sapphire and if ya wanna try something different; maybe a red second hand wuld do it !

Trouble15 · 16 October 2013, 09:35 AM

Not a fan of the cyclops on the Pelagos.

willychu · 19 July 2017, 10:34 AM

Happened to find this old post, when exploring the idea of adding a cyclops to a Pelagos Blue. Photos below are of Ref. 94110, which were produced between 1976 to around 1980.

Whether he knew it or not and whether or not you think it looks good, the OP's idea is historically correct.

That was my thought. Wrong hour hand for a cyclops. I do like cyclops' but the snowflake hand needs an extension to make it work.

173rdabn · 19 July 2017, 12:02 PM

I rather like the cyclops. I have a pelagos and never thought about one.

jonmdavis · 19 July 2017, 01:57 PM
