Hi guys, Its been awhile.

Just a quick question, am i right in thinking that ALL date Tudors including vintage models have a cyclops?

Ive attached a pic of the watch in question

Cheers chaps and chapettes

Hate to tell you this but those "California" dials are almost aways fake as is any dial exhibiting both Rolex and Tudor, except on very, very rare occasions.
I think original Tudors would indeed have a cyclops.

That dial looks like the date window was cut out by hand! Ewwww, a Tudex! Run away.

Thanks for your advice, i like it but i hear what you are saying about the added 'rolex', ok my mind is made up, im walking on this one.

Thanks again, great help

Notice how the date window is cut into the 15 min marker.

Always best to ask first. Well done, now you can enjoy the renewed search for another Oyster.

The cyclops was first used on Rolex in late 1953. Any vintage watch, either Rolex or Tudor, would not have an original cyclops if made before late 1953.

The dial on this watch does not appear to be either original or authentic.
