I like it.

Used to have an Omega Seamaster Pro 300 and have to admit that I was was a bit sceptical to the cyclops when I got my Sub. After a month of daily wear I must say I really like it

I seem to remember Jocke had a sure fire way of removing the cyclops.

Anyone have the picture/link?

Haha

I got my first Rolex with a cyclops 26 years ago and, if anything, I like it _less_ now than then. It's definitely not growing on me.

The cyclops trades angle-of-view for magnification, and I'm not convinced that's a great trade.

I never think about it, it serves a purpose, i don't love it or hate it, but as has been said before if you don't accept it there is a lot of nice Rolex models you can't own.

I learned to not dislike it... I had no choice, I really wanted the GMT master. But if I had a choice, like in the case of a Sub, I'd go no cyclops.

I hope it grows on me. The Exp II is my only cyclops equipped watch. I'm hoping my eyes don't age to the point where I'm glad to have it.
At least for now, it's rather a nuisance.

I kinda like it actually...

Have an Explorer I, Sub Date and Deepsea.

No date, date with cyclops and date without cyclops.

All works for me. And having the diversity helps.
