gioarmani Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I know it's only a matter of personal taste, but I see so many of these models where the date literally fills the entire cyclops eye--which it's not supposed to--and I don't particularly care for its look. If the visual size of the date mag in the cyclops eye is determined by the distance from the top of the dial to the crystal, why is it on models like Josh's perfect sub the date mag looks too big? If the watch has the same mm rehaut measurement as the gen, then why would the date-mag be bigger than the gen? The reason I ask is my EL sub's date mag looks just like my gen did and its magnification is even the exact same size as all the sub pics in the gen owner's manual & on rolex.com, even though the rehaut on my model is supposedly smaller than the gen? How exactly does this work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly does this work? Thats in the Magnification of the cyclop.. i think in your El is it up to 3x... Rehautdetph and number of magnification makes the date look correct..

gioarmani Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Interesting--I could have sworn I read somewhere that the actual cyclops eye itself didn't have much at all to do with the mag, that it was all in the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Not true. Specs of cyclops (diameter, depth,survature) even materials (glass vs flint glass vs sapphire) all have a large effect as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
