Icon20 114060..."Drop the Hammer"!

Is it possible to add a cyclops, I'm always in the water, but not really a diver. I did go diving in Cozumel last week, but only about 20-30 feet down. And that was deep enough for me and only like the 5th time diving. I was shocked how clear the water was, I've been there before but never really dived.

I know people take the cyclops off some of their watches, so this to me is a logical question IMO. I don't care about resell value, just want to know if anyone has done this.

It's just a question, I know the purist would scratch their head doing this. Couldn't find a search topic on this.

Thanks in advance and have a Super Bowl weekend
Mark

Why, oh why, would you put a cyclops on a watch that has no date???

But...yes...you can indeed add a cyclops if you want.

Woops, that was the wrong watch.

Ok, if it was a Sea Dweller then. I thought ROLEX made a SUB with a date but no cyclops.

Indeed. That would be the SeaDweller.

The current Deepsea SeaDweller has a domed crystal...so that might be a bit harder to add a cyclops to.

But, yes, it could be added.

Ok, didn't know that it was domed, cause of its depth rating. Got it and thanks.

... Or you could flip your 114060 for a 116610?

Dan Pierce put one on his THC and it looks great. I think it'd look nice on the Pelagos as well.

That is a main reason I am now against using model numbers alone in posts. Just confusion except for serious WIS.
