I have a Sub LV coming in not too long, and I wont probably go ahead and remove the cyclops straight away, but would be very curious to see what it would look like. I can't seem to have noticed many pics of the LV where it has been removed.
Anyone out there that would like to share a pic?

Cheers!

I definitely agree JJ, but would be cool to see. Always sparks a bit of discussion when talking about removing it, so not intended, just curious.

Curiosity killed the cat. Removing the cyclops will kill the LV - end of story!!

I totally agree with JJ! If you remove the cyclops, you will kill the LV!

To me it's like the pacemaker on Tony Stark's heart!

Don't listen to all these guys. It would look great without the cyclops.

Ban the cyclops! It should be hunted down and burned at the stake!!!

I was going to ask if the LV came as a "no date" model but I guess this answers that question!

Great idea, Tony!

Too green for me though. Eric (esm) might have a go.

Thanks for all the replies. Especially to you JJ, that you took time out of your hectic day, to contribute on this thread, sharing of your extensive knowledge. And cool pic Jocke. Tack skal du ha :)

The cyclops does detract from the dial in some ways, but it is something that over the years I've grown to tolerate and as years go by and my eyesight recedes the cyclops is actually becoming useful.

dbphotos · 31 July 2010, 04:56 PM

As my near sightedness gets worse I need a cyclops on the whole crystal! :-)
