The cyclops now is a breakthrough to be celebrated and not bemoaned.

Not to me. Don't see a functional use for it (I can see the date just fine, and I seriously doubt I'll have a problem with it in my later years) except bring a watch's aesthetic appeal down. Just my personal opinion though, I understand that the cyclops is one of those features which are very polarizing. :)

Hope this doesn't turn into an AR fiasco lol

The sea dweller did not have the cyclops originally only because it couldnt withstand the pressure from the water resist rating. The cyclops now is a breakthrough to be celebrated and not bemoaned.

To me. Functionally it's good
But it's stupid to have the red line to say it's part of the first few seadweller and it's heritage is being bought forward.
Then throw a cyclops there.
Lol what's the point.

Halo-like effect on the edges of the Zaratsu polished markers and hands. Also the geometry of the 62GS case together with the box-shaped sapphire 👍

I agree to some extent but this is a 50th anniversary model and that's where rolex indulges in marketing fluff. Kudos to them on the cyclops though knowing full well that the lack of it is what's appealing to many.

Right now it's popular because of the single red line
Rolex is probably going go with the same design from then onwards.
But it's a nice watch overall. Haha

Sticker haven't remove? Looks like a shot @ AD.

Indeed my friend! Shortly after, them devils told me that policy was now to rip off every single sticker to my absolute horror!

Here it is in all its naked, unstickered glory, finding its place amongst its mostly still stickered breathen. (i like to keep the stickers on lol)
