Amazing gift! Rolex is celebrating the 50th well by showing the Cyclops as a big innovation. I love it.

I find it funny that the paper weight to celebrate the 50th is the cyclops that many are so upset about

Congrats, but how does one have the wrist for a SD50 but be small enough to fit in a Lotus?

Congrats and happy birthday Lee. Looks great. Even if you drive on the wrong side of the road!!. The picture of all 3 of them together really drives home how large this watch is.
