I like the Sub non date best but need the date function. I have skinny wrists at 6 ¾" and think the size of the Sea Dweller will be to large. If I get a Sub date will I learn to love the cyclops? Trying to decide before the apparent Canadian price increase (as per dealer) of May 1.

Thanks,
Budge

I like it a lot. Its Rolex signature and most important I can't see the date without it.

Yes you will. And when you get older you'll really appreciate it.

I didn't think I would like it.

A few weeks later and I love it!

I can shoot light at people with it as well! It is rather entertaining while im at work!

Not a fan. Get a pre-loved SD and avoid the px increase.

jimmyk2014 · 24 April 2014, 08:36 AM

I learned to love it, no date watches are my preference but at work, the date does come in handy. The other bonus is my eyes are going and the cyclops makes reading the date much easier.

You don't need a date function. You'll get used to not having it soon. It actually helps you think! :-) I have both an Explorer and Sub w/o date, about to add a Daytona.

francis · 24 April 2014, 08:39 AM

Love it..... always have though.

scarlet knight · 24 April 2014, 08:40 AM

I don't like the cyclops. I have it on my polar Exp II, not on my SubC. Like everyone else, I look at my iPhone for the date.

swils8610 · 24 April 2014, 08:50 AM

I love the cyclops. Classic Rolex.

I generally find that you rarely "grow to love" a feature on a watch. If you don't like it before you buy it, you probably won't like it after you buy it.

Get the Sea Dweller.

Chaps

I bought a 39mm Explorer in January because of its purity of form and simplicity. It told me the time and that was all I wanted.

I wanted a couple more Rolexes because I had got the bug and the one thing I did not like about Rolex was the cyclops. I considered that it attracted attention in the sense that it screamed Rolex and was a trifle vulgar.

However I was offered a very clean dated Sub last month and I was unhappy with the cyclops and at one point I was going to put it in the safe and leave there.

However I have become used to it and now I tolerate it. I still wish I had bought an undated sub as it looks a hell of a lot cleaner.

The one thing I have noticed about the Sub that it does attract a few glances, which I hate whereas the Explorer went totally unnoticed. I suspect the cyclops is partly the reason for that.

Strangely enough I rarely use the date function.

Regards

Mick

So much so that I got rid of it from my 16570:

The others I own are all non-date, so no cyclops.

thomaspp · 24 April 2014, 09:03 AM

I like it but funny enough I have fewer clyclops watches now than I did before.

Urosfan · 24 April 2014, 09:04 AM

I like it

Tridor · 24 April 2014, 09:47 AM

I dig the cyclops. Always have.

mjclark32 · 24 April 2014, 09:48 AM

I wanted to take it off for a few months when I first got my sub, now I like it

samsam · 24 April 2014, 10:03 AM

No. It grows on trees!

rofl:

I honestly love the cyclops, but there was a time when I thought it has a dated look to it. Not anymore.

So I guess yes, I became a fan with time.

HL65 · 24 April 2014, 10:06 AM

I like it on the watches that have it and am fine with the ones that don't....It's all good by me.

Watchdog · 24 April 2014, 10:28 AM

To me it sort of signifies Rolex.
