Let's see your cyclops magnification on BLNR
I'm hearing there are inconsistencies on the cyclops magnification on BLNR. Let's compare and contrast. I feel my example magnifies quite well. Here's mine:

No offence all
but i am Frankly frustrated about how often this thread appears i really do not understand why we cant add to an existing thread rather than start 1000 threads on the same topic |

We know that inconsistencies exist. I believe the point is we don't need a new post on this topic every time someone questions the magnification on their watch, as there are existing threads you can add to if you want to discuss the topic or ask for an opinion specifically to your timepiece. Perhaps the mods should remove any new threads on this topic going forward.

Mine is like the ones pictured here and like most of the ones in I have seen in stores. I'm convinced that this is the magnification rolex intends. If it smaller or as big as the subs then it's probably a mistake.

I say the more threads on this problem the better. Why bury the issue in one single thread that is too long to read. No one is being forced to open and read them, or comment on them. Repetetiveness isn't exactly unknown on TRF anyway.

Agree, the more the better. I would ultimately like to see Rolex weigh in on this situation with a formal statement attesting to whether cyclops variant is intentional or not.

IMO it looks a bit too small in all the pictures in this thread. Looks better on my datejust. (Bigger)

I've said it once and I'll say it again, IMO this QC issue is a major problem specifically and especially because this is a feature widely considered to be undesirable. If it doesn't work the way it's supposed to work (2.5x magnification) than they should remove the feature entirely, or fix the QC issue.

This needs to be fixed since it's the initial tell for fakes. Rolex proudly states that its watches each have 2.5x date mag, not each have roughly 2.5, 2.3 2.0 2.1x ish mag. It's a disgrace imo.

I agree Rolex needs to fix the problem, but each individual person needs to decide if their own eyes are happy with the mag. If your eyes are not then tell Rolex and see if they'll change it. Starting 100 threads on TRF and having everyone's different eyes weigh in just won't fix the problem.
