2010 Sub and GMT II Cyclops
hello all,
newbie question....I would like to buy my first Rolex as
shown at Basel this year. Either the Sub or GMT II. I am leaning
towards the GMT II.
Whilst i haven't ever tried a Rolex on... from
pictures the Sub looks the smaller of the two?
the bubble over the
date is a cyclops? I do not want!
Is it an option on either model not
to have the "bubble"? it looks horrific. total distraction from an
otherwise beautiful piece.
My apologies if that opinion is blaspheme.
Anyways
any insight would be greatly appreciated.

A local watch store told me...
..that the cyclops bubble can be removed from any Rolex crystal. They remove the crystal from the watch, put it in a microwave just long enough to warm the glue, and off it pops, then they have some sort of cleaning fluid to wash off any excess glue. If I...
Acetone and chisel; it is possible..... or get the 14060M
The current 'no date' Sub' ref 14060M would be my suggestion. Long missing from the website, or e-brochure, this completely McQuool variant is still around co-selling alongside the inexplicably different date version. In a world of reissues at every turn,...
