Please give me your opinion. Is it me or something is wrong with either the magnification or cyclops on this Sub. I can´t tell what it is, but something seems off.

Thanks for your help.

Am I crazy?

chill · 6 December 2011, 02:40 AM

looks weird, but to me that whole new sub design looks a bit off as well.

The GMT Master · 6 December 2011, 02:41 AM

These cyclops with the AR coating don't appear to have quite the same magnification as cyclops without it. Nothing to be concerned about, however

Tri-Tip · 6 December 2011, 02:43 AM

Your rehaut looks more tapered than mine, more like a DSSD.

dcash0615 · 6 December 2011, 02:53 AM

All looks good to me. I see no issues. Wear it and enjoy.

smallcandle · 6 December 2011, 02:54 AM

Looks fine to me as well...

Your great at taking pictures. Can you take one "under" the cyclops so we can see the number un-magnified?

Looks so clear. Must be the AR they are now using. Also it appears larger too...covers more of the crystal but with these macro photos. Who knows!

mrbill2mrbill2 · 6 December 2011, 08:38 AM

That's the way the 116610 cyclops looks. Not the same as the 16610. It's almost looks like a fake compared to the classic Subs.

Thanks guys for your help.

I think you both got it. The magnification is different making the date window look smaller. Thanks.

cedargrove · 6 December 2011, 01:12 PM

Looks good.

Kevin.S · 6 December 2011, 01:37 PM

Send it to me, I'll let you know if it's OK :)

Took a couple of pics. This was the best shot.

Wonky!

Unfortunately it's real, that's how they look now, like older fakies.

what do you mean, exactly...?

MP5 · 6 December 2011, 07:48 PM

Pretty much exactly that, the new cyclops look like the fake 16610 did. A common way to identify fakes as the fakers couldn't reproduce the Rolex cyclops. Now neither can Rolex

MP5 · 6 December 2011, 07:57 PM

One thing is odd about this watch is the coronet base is one I have not seen, most are more open. You know the Rolex dial changes though

The more I look at this watch, the more questionable it becomes.

The bezel does look wokky.

The coronet on the dial looks "different."

The script on the dial does not look crisp.

I hope I'm wrong about all that.

Are you sure about this? Do you think the watch has other issues?

The script on the dial is crisp, it may have to do with the focus on my pics.

bayerische · 8 December 2011, 12:56 AM

I would say you are ok.

No, I'm not sure and I don't mean to alarm you, but you did ask the question, which led to further examination.

The thing to do is to take it to an AD and compare it or talk with a Rolex certified watchmaker who can advise you as to the issue.

So, forgive me, if I caused alarm.

Andres --

For what its worth, here is a link to a ceramic sub from one of TRF's most trusted sellers (DavidSW).

http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=204185

This watch also seems to be similar to yours in terms of the magnification, so I'm sure you are fine. Also, The GMT Master (my personal, recently adopted "patron saint" of anything Rolex ... smile) chimed in earlier on and said that it is perfectly normal. Of course, nothing wrong with stopping in to the authorized and just asking about AR coatings and magnification. With any luck they will have one in the case that you can compare against.

When ordering my ceramic sub and comparing it against the previous design, I did notice a difference and, to me, the date actually looked sharper on the cyclops on the ceramic sub (which I liked).
