When the minute hand is in the 15-18 range and you can’t tell the exact time because of the cyclops.

I’m just nitpicking. I think we all love our subs haha.

I guess you need to trade it in for a sub no date.

GMT's are worse, too busy when everything is over at 3.00 or 15.00. 5 digit sub 14060/14060M or Explorer or Daytona White is the answer. Daytona BD is difficult, 114060 is ugly. MG has an ugly second hand, AK is hideous. DJ 41 is just a little big. SD43 and DS are for Italian Americans. YM 2's forget about it. YM40 Blue is a good one.

got one, it's good for manual labour but still not so clear to read.

Finslayer83 · 21 September 2019, 08:08 AM

psssh

If it were a 5 digit (no AR under cyclops) all you need is a knife and small hammer. Quick tap and the problem is solved.

petay993 · 21 September 2019, 08:12 AM

I would be more worried about your bezel alignment!!

Just check your phone...

junamuan · 21 September 2019, 08:39 AM

yeah I get you. i hate that cyclop on my sub C date but it was too late to realize that I prefer no date.

But I still love it nonetheless.

Jefferyasher · 21 September 2019, 08:57 AM

Love my 14060m!!

Geaux Tigers · 21 September 2019, 08:58 AM

I round anyway...

AJMarcus · 21 September 2019, 08:59 AM

It’s only going to get worse for you I’m afraid.

Flyoverguy · 21 September 2019, 09:25 AM

Get a SD4K

Problem solved.

Jabbo84 · 21 September 2019, 09:35 AM

...did you know they now make a sub no date

othertbone · 21 September 2019, 09:38 AM

I'm told that is exactly why spies go with the no date

bridgs · 21 September 2019, 09:38 AM

Agree with that and nice to have at the same time.

Bizcut1 · 21 September 2019, 11:20 AM

Cyclops. Iconic.

Not a Sub without one.

I am the same boat but I have learned to live with it. I hate it because I don’t want people to know it’s a rolex.

You do know that the very first sub doesn’t have a cyclops.... Right?

frankfrazetta · 21 September 2019, 12:19 PM

The cyclops is ugly for some of us. I'm in that camp. Before you buy a Rolex it's important to know it the silly bump will bug you.

...and if I had my time again I would have got a Submariner Date, instead of the Submariner. They were both in the AD window, available to buy brand new at retail back in 2016. I picked the 114060...but need a date.

Yes - I do. When I think I am looking at a Sub from a distance, I look for the Cyclops.

I purchased one of these as liked the look, but had to send it back, as it felt too large (appreciate that it is quite small for a G Shock) on my small wrist. Bought a full metal square £450 with negative display in the end...now can’t read the time in certain light.
