Me too Sir!!! The cyclops screams Rolex. It's amazing how Rolex can get the 2.5 magnification and the competitors can't get that mag! Wahooo Rolex :)

Love this pic and LOVE the cyclops.

I traded my SubC for a DSSD recently and missed it terribly. Mostly because of the clops. Got another SubC this week and all is right in the world

I am not a big fan of the cyclops, but the the next Rolex I want will have one.

Great photo Jocke!

Cyclops.

Great shot!
Up until recently, they never did anything for me. Now I am finding the 16800 is getting as much wrist time, if not more than the SD. It is the cyclops that is swinging it.

Personally I like it but it's all about opinion. If someone told me they didn't like it then fair enough.

You can still have a Rolex if you don't like them. Milgauss, YMII, Explorer, Sub no date, Daytona etc.

I did have my heart set on a Sub ND because I liked the symmetry but then I realised I want the cyclops.
