Leave it. Changing the crystal is an unwarranted waste of money. IMHO.

I dont care for the blister.

Captain Kirkwood · 7 September 2012, 02:56 PM

Chop it off.

There are times when the magnification isn't clear. You have to catch it at certain angles to be able to have a clear view. What do you guys think?

I think the Explorer II looks good either way.

Modifying a Rolex is a bit of an insult to the brand IMO.
Some folks like to mess about with things like this. I guess its just the way they are.

It reminds me somewhat of people who chop off the tail of a pedigree dog or trim its ears so it looks better in their eyes.

Removing the date magnifier from the crystal has been done by a few here. The way I see it, if you don't like the 'cyclops' then flip the watch and buy a model that doesn't have one like these:

DSSD
DAYTONA
MILGUASS
SUB NO DATE
EXPLORER 214270

There are other models but I can't think of them ATM.

I do like the cyclops on my Expy 2 and wouldn't dream of taking it off.

But as they say, different strokes for different folks

Interesting analogy. I have yet to develop such an emotional relationship with a watch brand, and I mess about with my material objects as I please.

My dog's got all her limbs intact though.
