I am interested in the Tudor Pelagos and am....

wondering how feasible it would be to have a cyclops installed on the dial to better see the date.
Would that work well?
Thanks.

I personally wouldn't do it... Whatever floats your boat though!

x2.

I have a Pelagos and it's certainly something I wouldn't do - but horses for courses.......

Awesome watch though - get one, you won't be disappointed. If you are it'll all be down to feel of Ti if you haven't had a Ti watch before.

I would say that's not feasible or a great idea to try....

Personally I like to keep watches original, but it'll be your watch and if it'll make you happy go for it! Especially if you can keep the original crystal for down the road.

One thing, I was sold on the Pelagos from pictures but when I finally went to try one on it simply wore too big on my 6.75 inch flat wrist. I still think its beautiful but the proportions, for my wrist, are off. Just didn't look right.

The cyclops just sticks onto the original crystal and can be easily removed.

Qcasanova, I just followed your link and that does look pretty nice! This coming from someone who has swore he would never own a Rolex with a cyclops. Something about it on the Pelagos I guess.
